Christian Kane portrayed alternatively charming, devious, yet somewhat sympathetic, lawyer Lindsey McDonald, one of Wolfram and Hart's higher placed lackey lawyers, since the beginning of Angel.  He did seem to gain a bit of his humanity back when he re-gained an hand ~ replacing the one Angel cut off at the end of S1. After loving and losing Darla, he left town, leaving W & H in Lilah's sly and ever-so-capable hands. Lindsey  reappeared on the radar in LA, covered with symbolic tatoos, and in bed, literally and figuratively, with Eve.  Eventually, his scheme to destroy Angel was exposed and stopped, and he ultimately worked with his arch-enemy, but Angel didn't trust him, and, in the spirit of total obliteration of evil, Angel asked Lorne to do one last thing before the green-skinned one walked away - Lorne shot and killed Lindsey.

Christian Kane is Lindsey McDonald

Christian comes by that slightly southern accent honestly, since he was born in Dallas, Texas on June 27, 1974 (a very good day to have a birthday, btw), and his family moved around throughout the South before settling down in the small town of Norman, in Oklahoma. Christian, whose birth name is Chris Short, attended the University of Oklahoma where he had plans to major in art history, but like so many people, he found his true calling was acting, and he headed to LA. Unlike the many, he's found fairly steady work.  Christian's big break came in 1997 when he was cast as the male lead, Ryan "Flyboy" Legget, in a new show, Fame L.A., based on the hit movie and 80's TV series.  That show was canceled after one season but he quickly obtained another leading role, in Aaron Spelling's WB action series Rescue 77, playing Wick Lobo. Rescue 77 was cancelled due to mediocre ratings. Christian was then picked up for a new little WB show named Angel. He's also appeared with Woody Harrelson in EdTV, as a production assistant, and a made-for-TV Western called Crossfire Trail with Tom Selleck. Christian just appeared in a recent episode of Dawson's Creek and  appeared in another feature flick with Freddie Prinze Jr. and fellow WB'ers Marc Blucas (Buffy's Riley Finn) and Jessica Biel (7th Heaven's Mary Camden), entitled Summer Catch. He currently resides in Los Angeles, and his current priority is his musical career.
