Chris’s acting career began with Shakespeare, where he fell in love with the power of language and performance. In his decade working in video games, he’s drawn from that training to create characters for Nintendo, Blizzard, Bethesda, EA, Square Enix, SEGA, Bandai, Amazon Games, XBox Games, for titles including World of Warcraft, Starfield, Fire Emblem Heroes, Lords of the Fallen, Game of Thrones: King’s Road, Black Desert Online, Age of Mythology Retold, Raidou Remastered, and Paladins.

He has been coaching privately and taught at multiple voice over schools for the past 5 years, as well as lecturing at the collegiate level, with students who have gone on to work with Rockstar Games, Nickelodeon Animation, and a litany of video games.
