BIOGRAPHY christopher experienced a quiet and comfortable upbringing. he was born in chicago but moved to seattle with his father (a building site manager) and his step-mother (a seamstress) at the age of five. he has two younger half-siblings, neither of whom are in showbiz. he never intended to be an actor, up until high school he wanted to be a doctor. he attended a summer camp with his best friends as a freshman because he didn't want to go on a family vacation which would result in missing the first two weeks of school. it was there that he found a love of acting after taking part in a play. he joined his high school's drama group and became actively involved in the drama department as well as sports.
he graduated high school as an average student and took up a place in a performing arts college in San Francisco but dropped out after a year. while attending as many auditions as he could he also did modeling to make extra money (and to get free head shots for his resume). he landed bit-parts and minor roles before getting a reoccurring role in a television show that projected him into fame as a 90's heartthrob. over the next ten years he built up an impressive resume in the television and movie industry before moving to England with his new wife (a British actress) in 2001 and took a break from acting to focus on family life and attempted to write a book, which eventually transformed into a screenplay.
