Recently, he demonstrated his range in the lead role of Carl in the indie feature "Squat" and received praise for his performance as Cameron Matthews in the award-winning "Haunting At Woodland Hills" (also known as "Vacant House").

Holding a bachelor's degree in Theater Acting from the University of Southern Indiana and a Master's in Film Directing from Regent University, Cris continues to hone his craft through the Meisner Technique, ongoing education, and various acting coaches.
