Headshot & Resume

From California to the Carolinas, Christopher has had a nomadic acting career which has most recently landed him his first Broadway debut. Explore more of his work and see for yourself!

California born and Carolina bred, Christopher finds himself orbiting out of New York amidst his ever-growing regional career, after his B.A. in Theatre from Clemson University. He's filled by work that challenges his physical body and vocal stamina. Inspired most by his work in productions like The Elephant Man; Romeo and Juliet; Vanya, Sonia, Masha, and Spike; Troilus and Cressida; Red; 4000 Miles; Eurydice; and The 39 Steps, Christopher loves to be a man of many hats. Among his recent hats is his first on screen venture, the upcoming This Is B.S. web series due out this Spring. With the recent shutdown of Broadway, Christopher closed The Inheritance and is teaching yoga and performing in a solo live-streamed version of A Christmas Carol. Proud Member of AEA.
