Christian Bako

Christian Bako who played Olivia's Father on Hemlock Grove was born in Hungary and raised in a small village of the country's south-western region, Christian's dream has long been to become an actor. As he says, "Being an actor is a life-long journey of self-discovery that is profoundly challenging at times but also liberating". Having to leave his home in order to live abroad and learn English, taking on all kinds of work to support himself, and not seeing his family for 8 years finally started paying off in 2005, a couple of years after arriving to Toronto. His first audition for a speaking part secured him a large principal role in an independent feature. Since then Christian had shown his versatility in numerous films and TV shows. He became a full Actra member in late 2012 after receiving his Canadian permanent residency.
