Christof is a fictional character from the movie, The Truman Show, who produced a television show about the life of Truman Burbank, portrayed by Jim Carrey. Truman's life is filmed through thousands of hidden cameras, 24 hours a day and broadcast live around the world, allowing executive producer Christof to capture Truman's real emotion and human behavior when put in certain situations. Truman's hometown of Seahaven is a complete set built under a giant dome and populated by the show's actors and crew, allowing Christof to control every aspect of Truman's life.
When Peter suggests the world may have been created just for him in "Fore Father", a cutaway shows Christof, who controlled the artificial world of the film, The Truman Show.
