Classically trained, with two decades in film, television, and theater. Cris is a hazel-eyed, acting Swiss Army knife with adaptability, taking on a diverse range of characters - from victims, underdogs, and heroes to attorney's, nerds, doctors, and complex villains.

Despite the 'middle-aged, 40-something' vibe, he'll still rock a skateboard and bust a breakdance move now and then. Cris has skillfully portrayed characters from Shakespeare to Pulitzer Prize-winning works by Sam Shepard, showcasing his versatile talent. Cris recently displays his versatility in the leading role of Carl in the indie feature film "Squat" and earned acclaim as Cameron Matthews in the award-winning "Haunting At Woodland Hills" (a.k.a. "Vacant House").

Notably, this film not only screened at the prestigious Festival de Cannes Cris at the CineRocKom International Film Festival for Best Actor in a Leading Role. Armed with a bachelor's in Theater Acting from the University of Southern Indiana and a Master's in Film Directing from Regent University, Cris refines his craft through the Meisner Technique and guidance from continued education and various acting coaches.

As a filmmaker, Cris has produced 2 feature films, 20+ documentaries, and over 100 short films, showcasing a commitment to diverse storytelling. Beyond the camera, he brings a unique blend of skills-screenwriting, skateboarding, rollerblading, snowboarding, guitar playing, breakdancing, actor coaching, screenwriting, directing, and cinematography.
