Christian de la Torre was born and raised on the east side of Madison, Wisconsin. His early years in grade school were spent focusing on extracurricular athletics, including hockey, football, and track and field. However, it wasn't until high school that Christian developed an interest in the arts. At the age of 15, he enrolled in show choir and theater upon the urging of his Aunt. Following high school, Christian was accepted into the University of Dubuque in Iowa and received a full ROTC scholarship. In 2015, he was commissioned into the United States Army and graduated from UD with a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and a minor in military science. From 2015 to 2019, Christian served as an Infantryman and was stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado. He was deployed to Europe in 2017 and to Afghanistan for a combat deployment in 2018. Due to unforeseen injuries sustained during his time in service, Christian was medically retired. Subsequently, Christian was discovered by an agent who specializes in extras and began appearing in local TV commercials. His first film role was in "The Gratitude Project," a documentary featuring Samira Wiley. Following the completion of "The Gratitude Project," Christian was cast in the first season of Peacock's "Traitors," where he garnered attention for his dynamic performance and gameplay. Christian and his civilian cast members received an Emmy for their outstanding work during the show's inaugural season. Christian recently completed filming his first independent short film, "Here In The Shadows," produced by Enigma Studios and directed by Jake Miosge. In the film, Christian portrays 'Wyatt Jennings,' a Tier 1 Operator in the United States Armed Forces.
