About christopher

Christopher was born in the small town of Muskogee in Oklahoma. His family moved around a lot in his adolescence, living in Louisiana, North Carolina, Louisiana again, Illinois, then back to Oklahoma. He spent a good portion of his adolescence in the small town of Forsyth, Illinois where he spent most of his time playing soccer, baseball, basketball and football. His first foray into acting came during his sophomore year of high school when on a whim he auditioned for the school musical of Anything Goes. He snagged the role of Moonface Martin and after that experience, the acting bug had latched onto him for good. Christopher eventually received his BFA in theater performance at the University of Central Oklahoma in 2012. Not too long after, he got the call from The New School for Drama in NYC. He graduated in May 2017 with an MFA in acting, where he received training by such faculty members as Cotter Smith, Kathleen Chalfant, Scott Whitehurst and Peter Jay Fernandez.
