I was wondering, how did you approach going in front of casting directors when you first started out with nothing on your resume? Has this changed now that you have experience or is experience not a big factor?

I heard you started out as an intern in a casting agency. Where was it and would you say that was the main factor in your present rise to fame?
-Joan

Chris:  It was at Bonnie Finnegan casting and I wouldn't have found an agent if I hadn't worked there. So in that regard, it was a major factor.


I am a young actor from Las Vegas getting ready to move out to Los Angeles in the next year. What advice do you have for getting started, besides the basics like getting a respectable agent and a flexible job? What is one realistic piece of advice you could give to a serious actor like me?
-Eric D

Chris:  Watch a lot of old movies. Not only will it increase your film IQ (which directors love), but it will expand your palate as an actor. Take lessons from the actors who did it best.


Thanks again, Chris!
