Biography

C.J. honed his skills in the Chicago sketch and improv scene, choosing to study at iO Chicago, The Second City, and Acting Studio Chicago instead of pursuing a traditional college education. This path led to opportunities in commercials, voiceover work, and popular sketch shows, eventually attracting the attention of a Los Angeles-based manager.

His television debut featured a memorable guest appearance on the season two finale of TV Land's hit sitcom "Hot in Cleveland," starring Betty White. He then landed a significant role in Academy Award-winning director Damien Chazelle's multi-Oscar-winning debut film "Whiplash," sharing a powerful and pivotal scene with Best Supporting Actor winner J.K. Simmons. C.J. later joined the cast of TBS's barbershop sitcom "Clipped," starring George Wendt and Ashley Tisdale, as the standout shop hand Lonnie. He was also cast in Academy Award winner Alexander Payne's "Downsizing," appearing alongside Matt Damon. C.J. has appeared in numerous national commercial campaigns, most notably a prominent multi-year series for Spectrum. In the well-received indie feature "Film Fest," available on Amazon Prime, he plays Kyle the PA, sharing the screen with many comedy heavyweights.

His recent work includes recurring roles on Apple+ series "Shrinking" and "For All Mankind."

He is currently developing multiple projects with his writing partner Paul Alan Cope.
