Christian Camargo
Christian Camargo (né Minnick; born July 7, 1971) is an American actor, director, producer, and writer. He is best known for his role as Brian Moser in the Showtime drama Dexter and army officer John Cambridge in the Academy Award-winning film The Hurt Locker. Camargo's other roles include Michael Corrigan in the Netflix drama House of Cards, Count Dracula in the third season of Penny Dreadful, Eleazar in the films The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Parts 1 and 2, and Tamacti Jun in See.
Other than screen work, Camargo is a stage actor who has starred in plays and musicals such as including Romeo & Juliet and Coriolanus, and his involvement with acclaimed individuals such as David Leveaux and Jason Momoa. His theatre work has earned him critical acclaim, including an Obie Award. Camargo has also directed films–Days and Nights (2013) and The Last Manhunt (2022).
Camargo's birth name is Christian Minnick. He is the son of actress Victoria Wyndham and investment broker Wendell Minnick, and his aunt is Broadway actress Felice Camargo, and his brother is photographer Darian Minnick. He grew up on a small horse farm in Katonah, New York, and learned early auto restoration, where he earned his enthusiasm for vehicles. His first car was a 1979 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.
Camargo attended the Harvey School and graduated from the upper school in 1989, which is where he discovered his passion for theatre.
He is of Mexican descent through his maternal grandfather, actor Ralph Camargo. He is a 1992 graduate of Hobart College. He was the program director of WEOS, the college's public radio station.
Camargo is a graduate of the Juilliard School, where he was a member of the Drama Division's Group 25 (1992–96). He went on to perform in the 1996 Broadway production of David Hare's Skylight with Michael Gambon (Theater World Award). From there, Camargo went to England to join the inaugural company of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre on the Southbank, where he met his future wife, English actress Juliet Rylance.[citation needed]
Camargo's grandfather, Ralph Camargo, was a Mexican-American actor who talked his daughters into changing their names to something Anglicized because he felt he had lost roles due to being Latino. Christian decided to change his name from his father's family name of Minnick to his maternal grandfather's surname of Camargo because of pride in his Mexican-American heritage and a desire to bring back a name that he felt was connected to his profession. Christian cited Ralph as an important figure in his life, saying "My parents had a difficult divorce. My dad had to take a backseat for a few years, and my grandfather came in. He was also my inspiration for becoming an actor. I really respected him."
Camargo made his theatrical debut in 1999, starring in films such as Plunkett & Macleane and Harlem Aria, co-starring in the latter with Damon Wayans and Gabriel Casseus. He continued playing small roles in films, starring as Officer Pavel Loktev in K-19: The Widowmaker (2002) and playing Detective Scott in The Cry (2007).
