CHRISTIAN GUDEGAST & ERIC BRAEDEN

Christian Gudegast is a writer and filmmaker and the only son of German-born Eric Braeden and Dale Russell. Christian graduated top of his class from the UCLA Film School in 1992 and won the Best Student Film award the same year for Shadow Box, his thesis film. Not only did Christian share the same good looks with his father, but he also seemed destined to be as popular.

Christian has the same pronounced jawline as his father and a smile so similar. It would be hard to tell the two apart if one did not see their eyes. Apart from sharing his father’s ruggedness, Christian also uses his father’s original German surname. Christian may not have the same net worth as his more popular father, but he sure reminds us of a young Eric Braeden.
