Stephen Lang was born in New York City on July 11, 1952. His father, Eugene Lang, was a wealthy man, but he gave his $150 million fortune to charity to encourage his children to make their mark in the world --and that Stephen certainly did.
He is best known for his roles in films like "The Girl on a Train" with Emily Blunt and Luke Evans, James Cameron's "Avatar," and "Avatar; The Way of Water," with Zoe Saldanha and Sam Worthington. He has worked extensively in theater and is also a successful producer and writer.
As beautiful as Stephen found his bride on his wedding day is how he sees Kristina over forty years later.
Stephen's wife, Kristina Watson, is also connected to show business. Kristina is a costume designer with several credits in Broadway shows like "Past Tense," and "loose Ends;" movies like "Tartuffe," and the TV series "Great Performances."
