Return From Witch Mountain, I Wanna Hold Your Hand and The Swarm appeared in cinemas within five months of one another in 1978.

He played Dazzler, one of the truants known as the Earthquake Gang, in the sequel Return From Witch Mountain.

In I Wanna Hold Your Hand, the feature directorial debut of Robert Zemeckis, he was the boy with a Beatles-style haircut determined to see the band perform on The Ed Sullivan Show in February 1964.

And in the Irwin Allen-directed disaster film The Swarm, Christian portrayed a kid who suffers from hallucinations of giant bees attacking him.

Christian leaves behind his mother Marlene, ex-wife Ann, daughter Ryan, son Lucas and sister Shelley.
