In some ways, the seemingly impossible dream of acting was made for someone as tenacious as Dee Christian, a.k.a. "Deke" Anderson. In high school, at a mere 138 pounds, he was an All State Center for the Reno High Huskies. And at only 19, he owned and operated the largest bodybuilding gym in northern Nevada, where he trained to become a 4 time State Champion body builder and also happened to employ Kane Hodder, a.k.a. "Jason" of "Friday the 13th" fame. Deke's love for acting was born at the Nevada Opera Guild, where he performed in many musicals. Not long after he threw Kevin Costner's character off of a bridge in Reno in the feature "Stacy's Knights," he headed to Hollywood. It was 1982; in Westwood, he founded, owned and operated Deke's Muscled Cabs, a pedi-cab business which paid his bills in the beginning. He was Taft-Hartlied into SAG on his first L.A. job. For 40 plus years following that timely Taft Hartley, Deke has had a wonderful career both in front of and behind the camera. Deke directed and field produced 63 episodes of "Real Stories of the Highway Patrol" across and throughout 8 of our great states. He thus developed a deep "nuts and bolts" sense of production needs, and is therefore as reliable as they come as an actor. And Deke is also incredibly nuanced in his acting range, and his reels show it - they reflect a wonderfully diverse cast of characters over many years - Dads, Executives, psychos, Satan, goofballs and more! Deke has also been privileged to be a part of truly iconic TV/Film moments. He is a Tiny Ash tormenting good friend Bruce Campbell in Sam Raimi's cult classic "Army of Darkness," as well as Lilith's bachelor party beefcake stripper love interest "Randy" on "Cheers," and the spoiled arrogant rich suitor striking out with Madonna in her "Material Girl" music video. And he was cast as a Series Regular in what was reportedly then the most expensive CBS TV pilot ever shot! His wealth of experience makes Deke not only an amazing actor, but perhaps more importantly, an amazing acting instructor. Deke has loved mentoring his students in one of the most prominent acting havens in Hollywood and the Southeast region, Next Level Acting Studios. Deke resides in Texas, Louisiana, and Georgia, depending on where he is currently shooting, but Texas with his wife, daughter and Schnauzer is where he calls home.
