Biographie
Raised in the D.C. Metro area as one of five siblings, Chris began acting at age 2, appearing in various TV commercials, print advertisements, and regional theater productions.
Chris later moved to Chicago to study business and philosophy at Loyola University Chicago. While there, he briefly attended classes at the prestigious Second City, which ignited his passion and accelerated his decision to relocate to New York City to further pursue acting. With only six credits remaining to graduate, Chris intensified his academic focus before heading east.
In New York City, Chris trained at the Barrow Group and completed a two-plus-year conservatory program at the renowned William Esper Studio. To support himself, he worked as a bellman at the Hudson Hotel while finishing his remaining college credits at Fordham and Pace University.
During his time at the Hudson, Chris was discovered by FORD Models and several acting agencies, leading to numerous ad campaigns over the next five years. Concurrently, he performed in various Off-Off-Broadway and Off-Broadway productions, soap operas, and commercials.
After graduating from the William Esper Studio in summer 2007, Chris secured representation on the West Coast and moved to Hollywood, where he successfully booked several national commercials and TV shows, and was considered for lead roles in major studio films. Alongside working, he continued training with the Upright Citizens Brigade, Groundlings, Margie Haber, and Lesly Kahn.
In 2011, Chris co-founded By The Bay Productions, producing multiple unscripted TV concepts that were pitched and optioned by major networks.
He continues to write, direct, and produce short films and features that have earned recognition at festivals such as Austin, Soho, BAFF, Kairos, and others.
