About Charlie
Charles Bram Kraslavsky was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1968. Charlie was privately educated at Nishimachi International School, and The American School in Japan. He later attended San Francisco State University to study film making, but did not complete his degree. Charlie is bi-lingual, and speaks English and Japanese fluently.
Charlie's interest in acting started at an early age, when he appeared in the school play, "Up the Down Staircase", as Charles Aarons. After leaving college, Charlie returned to Tokyo. At first he did acting, modeling, and voice-over work on the side, for Japanese film and television productions. He was eventually scouted by I.M.O. (Inagawa Motoko Office), and signed an exclusive contract with them in 1993, and pursued acting full time until 1996. He has appeared in dozens of Japanese films, television shows, television commercials, both as an actor, and a voice-over artist, and he occasionally modeled for printed advertisements.
In 1996 Charlie portrayed the character 'Chris Redfield', in the original Resident Evil video game, "Biohazard, Resident Evil 1". This was the first video game to incorporate video cut scenes with live action sequences, and went on to spawn a worldwide franchise of video games, books, films, and television series.
Charlie stepped away from acting in 1996, to pursue other interests. He lived in London from 1996 until 2000, followed by New York City, where he remained until 2003, and then returned to the San Francisco Bay Area. Charlie got back into commercial acting and modeling work in San Francisco from 2004 until 2007, as well as in Los Angeles, from 2012 until 2015.
In 2022, Charlie was approached by Andrew Saullo of Black Ridge Media Productions, to be in The Keeper's Diary, a fan-made short film inspired by the original Resident Evil video game. Resident Evil fans warmly welcomed Charlie for his return to the community.
