Born in London in 1980, Chris always wanted to be a part of television and film.

Chris first appeared on television as an 8-year-old on a commercial for Warburton's Bread, playing a school boy. Chris was then offered a role in Grange Hill in the late 1980s.

He then went back to filming when he was 31 years old, and appeared in over 100 productions in his first year back (during 2011-2012). He was offered roles in huge films such as Skyfall (Daniel Craig as James Bond, bumps into him), Rush (playing a German ambulance man).

It seems that Chris gets a lot of roles playing a businessman, police and CID. Chris is a regular CID officer on ITV's Midsomer Murders, and has also appeared in soaps such as Hollyoaks and Emmerdale.
