This young blond actor made his debut as a teenager marooned on an island in the forgettable "Return to the Blue Lagoon" (1991). Later that same year, Krause appeared in the small film "December" as a prep school boy affected by Pearl Harbor and in the teen film "An American Summer". He garnered some attention as the younger half of a mother-son energy-draining vampire team in the box-office hit, "Sleepwalkers" (1992). He subsequently appeared in a series of syndicated TV-movies based on Burt Reynolds' "Bandit" character (as in "Smokey and the Bandit") and in several direct-to-video releases.
