Biography:Blonde, muscular 1980s leading man Christopher Atkins was living proof that the "beach-boy" type perpetuated by the likes of Troy Donahue had not died in the 1960s. Straight out of Dennison University, Atkins gained a brief burst of fame by being cast as Brooke Shields' "amour" in the soft-core 1980 remake of "The Blue Lagoon". He then went on to co-star with Kristy McNichol in "The Pirate Movie" (1981), a disappointing update of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance". Christopher Atkins virtually disappeared from view after this, only to resurface in direct-to-video productions at the end of the 1980s. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
