About chris
Hi! Thanks for being here. I'm an actor, writer, and director who grew up doing local theater and film from the age of 10. I moved to Chicago when I was 18 to study at Columbia College Chicago, The Second City, iO Chicago and The Annoyance.
​
I grew up in North Carolina by a family of New Englanders so I love the Red Sox and fried chicken biscuits. I loved watching TV and movies so much and was so fascinated by it that I knew early on it was all I wanted to do. I DO have a top 5 movies list thank you for asking and it's:
​
1) Close Encounters of the Third Kind
2) Wet Hot American Summer
3) Jaws
4) Iron Giant
5) Drinking Buddies
​
As a graduate of Columbia College Chicago's Comedy Writing and Performance Bachelor's Degree, with a minor in Writing for Television, I gained the tools to successfully collaborate on any film shoot, theater production, sketch comedy show, or anything I'm lucky enough to be a part of. These skills have enhanced my acting and I'm always excited to keep learning.
​
In 2021 I co-founded an independent film production company called Bathos Films. Since our founding we have produced a handful of film projects.
​
Outside of performing and writing, I enjoy puzzles, biking, Looney Tunes, playing my guitar, reading, cooking, and cheering on my brother as he joins me in our 20s.
