Craig Parker is a New Zealand actor born 12 November 1970. He first gained recognition in the New Zealand soap opera Shortland Street, playing Guy Warner across multiple stints (1992–96, 2007–08, 2020, 2023, 2024). His breakout international role came as Haldir in The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) and The Two Towers (2002), two of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings adaptations. Parker went on to lead roles in the syndicated series Legend of the Seeker as Darken Rahl (2008–10) and the Starz drama Spartacus as Gaius Claudius Glaber (2010, 2012). He played the French nobleman Stéphane Narcisse across four seasons of the CW's Reign (2014–17). As an actor, Parker has moved fluidly between serialized television, major film franchises, and period drama. Born in New Zealand, he remains one of the country's most internationally recognizable screen performers. Parker's life-path number 22 suggests a master builder—someone drawn to ambitious, enduring projects. A Scorpio by birth, his intensity appears suited to complex antagonistic and noble roles.
