Biography
Birthday: 1978
Siblings: Matthew (younger brother), Jen (younger sister)
Born and raised in Brampton, Ontario, Kris attended the Mayfield School of Arts, not so much because
he dreamed of being an actor, but because his friends attended the school. At 17, when a summer job as a
lifeguard wasn't ideal, he answered a newspaper casting call and won a role on the Disney series Flash
Forward. Things quickly snowballed from there.
Abandoning plans to study biochemistry in University, he instead moved to Prince Edward Island to work
on the CBC series Emily of New Moon. His work on the show not only earned him a Gemini Award, it
also brought him to the attention of various casting directors which lead to putting in some frequent
flyer miles. He traveled to Dublin to film Newton: A Tale of Two Issacs, Romania for Teen
Knight and Prague for Joan of Arc.
He also hasn't done too bad in Canada, appearing on La Femme Nikita and in movies such as
eXistenZ, Ginger Snaps and Knockaround Guys. Moving over the border to Los
Angeles hasn't didn't slow him down at all. He's appeared on Dragnet, was a series regular on
My Guide to Becoming a Rock Star and had a recurring role on Joan of Arcadia as
a fan favorite form of the Almighty.
His most recent feature film, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead, is currently making
it's way around the film festival circuit.
Not bad for someone who once vowed that there was no way in hell they would ever be an actor!
