Biographie
Chris, a native of Trenton, New Jersey, is a true Jersey original. His journey into entertainment began at age 11 when he joined his school's variety show cast. During a musical number, he captivated the audience by spontaneously leaping offstage into the crowd, becoming the highlight of the production and igniting his passion for acting.
In high school, Chris prioritized athletics over performing, drawn by the thrill of competition and teamwork. As a wide receiver, he helped his football team achieve an undefeated season for the first time in school history. He also played left field on three New Jersey State Championship baseball teams.
Despite his athletic focus, Chris couldn't resist performing and participated in every fashion, variety, and talent show throughout high school. His final performance featured a comedic scene from Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, where he dressed the varsity football team as Fembots in lingerie, earning a standing ovation.
Chris initially pursued business management at Coastal Carolina University but soon auditioned for the New York Film Academy (NYFA) in Manhattan. Performing a two-minute improvised dialogue from the film Disturbia, he impressed the faculty enough to earn both admission and a scholarship.
After graduating from NYFA, Chris appeared in New York productions including TLC's Four Weddings, USA Network's Royal Pains, MTV's I Just Want My Pants Back, and shared the screen with Justin Timberlake in Runner Runner. Returning to Los Angeles, he had the opportunity to work with renowned director Joss Whedon on the film Much Ado About Nothing.
Chris starred in the short film The Long Road, written and directed by Jarek King, which received honors at the Las Vegas Film Festival in 2012. In 2013, he led his first feature film, House Arrest, which premiered at Warner Bros. Studios, and also appeared in Fade to Black, directed by Michael Kuciak.
Together with close friends, Chris co-founded the production company The Best Friends Club, producing comedic shorts featured on FunnyorDie.com.
