Christian Slater, pe numele sau real Christian Michael Leonard Hawkins, s-a nascut la 18 august 1969 in New York, Statele Unite.
Vedeta a debutat in actorie la varsta de 8 ani, dupa ce mama sa l-a distribuit in serialul TV One Life to Live. Anul urmator, a aparut pe Broadway, alaturi de Dick Van Dyke in piesa The Music Man.
A urmat filmul TV Living Proof: The Hank Williams Junior Story (1983), iar doi ani mai tarziu, Christian Slater a debutat pe marele ecran, avea doar 16 ani, in filmul The Legend of Billy Jean. Primele aprecieri din partea criticilor le primeste dupa ce apare alaturi de Sean Connery in filmul Numele Trandafirului (1986). A aparut apoi in Tucker, a Man and His Dream (1988), urmat de multe alte filme, devenind insa o vedeta consacrata abia dupa aparitia alaturi de Winona Ryder in Heathers.
In 1989, Christian Slater a fost arestat de catre politie pentru ca condus sub influenta bauturilor alcoolice, si pentru ca in timpul arestarii a lovit un politist cu bocancul. In 1994 a fost arestat din nou, pentru ca a incercat sa urce intr-un avion cu pistolul.
