Born in England and raised in Canada in the late 1960s and 1970s, Chris moved to
New York City in the early 1980s to study acting at the prestigious Circle-in-the-Square theater
school at Broadway and 50th Street. After continuing his education overseas at the legendary
London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, Chris moved back to New York and
soon got his first professional gig at Joe Papp’s Public Theater in a production of “Henry V,”
starring Kevin Kline. A subsequent move to Los Angeles in the late 1980s has led to
a steady list of guest-star work on TV (ER, CSI: New York, Criminal Minds, Boomtown, The Court and more),
in film and on stage at, among other venues, the Tony-award winning Mark Taper Forum.

The son of a university professor and a social worker, Chris is also an accomplished writer whose
articles and op-ed pieces have been published in the Los Angeles Times, the Los Angeles Daily News,
Daily Variety, the Hollywood Reporter, Madison Magazine and more.
