American actor Christian Devi Brando was born on May 11, 1958. Out of his eleven children, he was the only one that Marlon Brando shared with his first wife, former actress Anna Kashfi.

Christian made two brief cameos in the 1968 films I Love You, Alice B. Toklas and The Secret Life of an American Wife. Between 1980 and 1990, he appeared in cameos in four further movies and four made-for-TV movies while sporadically going under the stage name “Gary Brown.”
