B I O G R A P H Y
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 L.A. hasn't slowed him down either. He's
appeared on 'Dragnet', was a series regular on 'My Guide to Becoming a Rock Star', had a recurring role
on 'Joan of Arcadia' as everyone's favorite form of the Almighty.
He can currently be seen in on the big screen in 'Final Destination 3' and the critically acclaimed 'A
Simple Curve' (which is currently only in Canadian theaters).
Not bad for someone who once vowed that there was no way in hell they would ever be an actor!
