About Chris

I'm on fire for acting, but have enjoyed my experience in every aspect of the industry! Been fortunate to work on a lot of fun projects, mostly in front of the camera (winning 4 or 5 individual acting awards); but also working extensively as a Producer & Director (taking 7 awards for film directed in the last few years). Above all I value the collaborative nature of film & getting to form a lasting bond with the cast & crew on each project!

Nothing like it!

P.S. I also run a business editing reels for actors all over the country!
Reel Editing:

Unique traits: Sports fanatic, eyes that change from blue to green randomly, doppelgangering with Jason Clarke & Robin Williams, a beard that's far more Irish red than I actually am, & the ability to drink unlimited amounts of Fireball...
