Christien Anholt is a British actor whose career spans film, television and theatre. Often cast in dramatic and adventure roles, he is recognised for portraying characters whose personal beliefs are challenged through unexpected experiences and relationships. In Preaching to the Perverted, Anholt plays Peter Emery, a young government employee sent undercover to infiltrate a BDSM organisation with the intention of exposing its activities.
