In this episode of How Success Happens, Chris looks back on his early days and explains how he made the leap from business child actor in Canada, to stage star in New York, to the screen actor we know today. (Spoiler alert: it wasn’t easy!)
Chris says he needed to put up with all types of people saying some not-so-nice things along the way, but with a combination of fine humor and old-fashioned persistence, he was capable of achieve his dream. “I recognized how I felt – and still feel – when I watch a movie or a show that moves me, and I can make money from it and turn it into a vocation, which unfortunately is also my hobby,” she says. “I envy people who love riding motorcycles or fly fishing or whatever it is. I love doing what I do. I love playing. Love it. It’s destroying me. It’s destroying me. It hurts me. This brings me to my knees. I like it very much.”
