He also got to be Cassie’s creepy Uncle Ted in EUPHORIA, & ‘greens dept’ in Ryan Murphy’s HOLLYWOOD. Chris co-starred with Alex Karpovsky in LOVERS OF HATE, a Sundance Competititon film in 2010. Chris was fortunate to have a summer stock theatre in his hometown, the Hampton Playhouse, where he stayed out of trouble during high school summers by working as an apprentice. Now sadly 'Playhouse Drive', it lives on in memory as a reminder of the beginning of a great adventure.
