ABOUT THE ACTOR
Christopher Lambert was born in Great Neck, Long Island but moved away when he
was only two years old. His father was a United Nations diplomat assigned
to Switzerland and, as a result, Chris was educated at private boarding schools
in Geneva. Inspired through his having appeared in a play at age twelve,
he went to the Paris Conservatoire where he remained for two years. After
a few small parts in the French cinema, beginning in 1980, he successfully
competed for the title role in Warner Brothers' Greystoke: The Legend
of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984). His co-stars included Ian Holm,
James Fox and Ralph Richardson (in his final film performance). The movie
was popular with Tarzan buffs for remaining faithful (in the first half at
least) to Edgar Rice Burroughs' original story of the apeman. Two years later
Lambert brought to the screen Gregory Widen's legendary 'Connor MacLeod',
the literally immortal Highlander (1986) cult-figure, born in the
Highlands of Scotland in 1518 and surviving into the futuristic Highlander
II: The Quickening (1991) and Highlander III: The Sorcerer (1994).
In recent years he has become a movie producer while continuing to act in
mostly action/adventure films.

ABOUT THE SITE: HISTORY, PRESENT & FUTURE
The site exists since 1998 and always seems to be under construction,
going through endless designs & looks. A couple of years back I couldn't
log into the original site (Christopher Lambert's Fortress) and make any changes or updates.
This is one of the major reasons why this site is never finished because I had
to start all over again. I also lost all material (images, html files etc...)
which doesn't make it pleasant to re-start.
The Fortress is maintained & designed by one guy.
It's a simple site dedicated to the good, bad and awful movies of Christopher
Lambert and not so much on the actor in question.
