Chris burst onto the acting scene in late 2007, unleashing a latent passion she’d had since childhood.   After spending years observing human behavior and development as a parent and a brand marketing professional she finally had the opportunity to commit herself full time and went for it.

Following the completion of a conservatory program at T. Schreiber Studio in NYC Chris’ career took off quickly.  Her second audition ever resulted in her being cast as a series regular in the TV Pilot Presentation, Bottled Up.  Her character, scheming seductress Greta Daniels, was created for her by producers Barry Scott (who had previously cast projects for Robert Redford and Al Pacino) and Bob Sherwood.  TV commercials, industrials, print and independent films soon followed, including a lead role as a wife and mother whose husband and daughter go missing in the family drama When North Winds Blow, produced for cable television in 2009.

Unsolicited feedback from directors with whom Chris has worked speaks to the quality of her work:

“Wow.  You are a good actor.  Really good.  Last night when I looked at the tape, I was blown away.  Your performance was perfect.  No, better than perfect, because it was better than I could imagine.  It was subtle but pointed – a tough balancing act.  It was engaging and highly amusing.  It is a wonderful piece in the film.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

“You were an absolute dream to work with -- strong ideas and team spirit, flawless performance, and the camera loves you, too!”
