My Own Worst Enemy

Christian Slater stars in "My Own Worst Enemy" as Henry Spivey, a man with two lives and personalities: Spivey is a middle-class efficiency expert living a suburban life with a wife, two kids, a dog, and a minivan; while Edward Albright is an operative who speaks 13 languages, runs a fourminute mile, and is a trained to kill with his teeth.

With an impressive career that spans the genres of film, television and stage, Slater has established himself as one of the most talented actors of his generation.

In 2002 and 2003, Slater made his mark on primetime television with two captivating guest-star character arcs. On "The West Wing," Slater portrayed Lt. Commander Jack Reese. As Neil Caplan, a vulnerable scientist on "Alias," Slater found himself entangled with terrorists eager to exploit his intelligence.

In 2007, Slater starred opposite Anthony Hopkins in the feature film "Slipstream," which Hopkins also wrote and directed. The film was screened at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. Slater also starred in the film "He Was a Quiet Man," opposite William H. Macy and Elisha Cuthbert. The film was written and directed by Frank Cappello.

Slater's producing credits include "Basil" and "Hard Rain," and he also starred in both.

During his time at Nickelodeon, O'Malley wrote his first play, "Three Years From Thirty," in which he also acted. The play was produced in New York and subsequently published by Samuel French.

O'Malley's entrance into network television came in 1996 when he was cast in the sitcom, "Life with Roger."

O'Malley was born in Boston, and raised in Nashua, N.H. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of New Hampshire and studied acting at the Gately-Poole Acting Studio in New York City. Currently, he resides in Los Angeles with his wife, Lisa, and their three children.
