    About Christian C.

    5.0
    (32)
    I am currently working on finishing up this current school year. I teach Freshman and Junior Year English in High School. Next year, I plan on teaching ESL to a K-8 school. I was a working actor in Chicago from 2003-2019 and have been a member of SAG/AFTRA since 2009. When I graduated from Illinois State University in 2003, I hit the ground running and worked with Chicago Dance Crash for 3 years as a company member. I solidified my theater acting muscles for 4 years before moving to LA in 2007 and worked on 2 films, Heist and Ingles Ya in addition to national commercials for Soapnet, Gaterade and Pepsi, just to name a few. My most recent film, Markham Tactical premiered on August 6th, 2016 in Chicago. I also made my TV show debut in 2010 on Chicago Code. I followed that up with appearances on Mob Doctor, Crisis, Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, Empire and Chicago Med. My theater work has included stops at Steppenwolf Theater, The Goodman Theater, Chicago Shakespeare, Timeline Theater, Lifeline Theater, Illinois Theater Center. At the present time, I am hard at work for the Illinois Shakespeare Festival (Measure for Measure and The Winter's Tale illinoisshakes.com).

    Christian was great! Worked on a scene together, and I could hear the delivery on his part, which definitely inspired me - I could hear the thoughts behind the words, the and emotional message being delivered in a believable manner. Even hearing to a good performer like Christian, one can learn alot. Thanks Christian!

    I love the way he connects with me as a person. I am ready to learn and build myself to be a better actor. Ready to see where the journey takes me.
