Kristopher Van Varenberg

Kristopher, or Kris Van Damme, was born in 1987 and has been in the same domain as his dad, stepping into the action film area. Like father, like son.

Kris’s constant appearances in filmmaking have shown his strong commitment to carrying on his father's work in the field of action cinema.
