The indie favourite first attracted widespread attention as the ghostly justice seeker in the sequel The Crow: Salvation.

Of Polish and Austrian descent, Mabius graduated from Sarah Lawrence College in Pennsylvania, where he studied sculpture and film.

He first gained notice as the cute but dim guitar player in Welcome to the Dollhouse, after which he appeared as a musician in 1996's indie hit I Shot Andy Warhol.

Mabius went on to play troubled teens in independent films such as Harvest of Fire, Lawn Dogs and Black Circle Boys before raising his profile.

At 1999's Sundance Film Festival, he was featured in two films, the serial-killer thriller The Minus Man, alongside Owen Wilson, and Gregg Araki's Splendor.

His breakthrough performance in The Crow: Salvation opposite Kirsten Dusnt was preceded by a small role in Cruel Intentions.

He then appeared in thriller Tempted starring Burt Reynolds, and had a major role in sci-fi horror, Resident Evil, before working on The Extreme Team and The Job.
