The stage is set. The curtain rises. There’s a spotlight on a NATURAL-BEARDED ACTOR.
CHRIS: “Let’s talk about who I really am and what I like to do outside of performance art!”
I am an all-around creative type of person. According to Magic: The Gathering, a “Johnny”. I’m constantly looking for new ways to express who I am in everything I do, explore different schools of thought, and challenge myself. I’m an avid gamer, streamer, cosplayer, writer, and I even design tabletop games!
As a cosplayer, my favorite character to play so far has been Harry DuBois, superstar (read: alcoholic) mutton-chopped megacop from the hit roleplaying game Disco Elysium. I’ve done multiple professional shoots as the character as he struggles to control all of the voices and impulses in his head. Multiple DE projects I’ve been involved with have even gotten the attention of the game developers themselves!
The current game I am designing is titled “Avatars: Mythos in Modern Day”. This is a whole roleplaying system (ala Dungeons and Dragons) that is based around people calling forth the heroes of fiction, myth, and even history to combat the things that go bump in the night.
When I’m not doing more traditional acting gigs, I am entertaining people online as “Roasted Pheasant”, my online moniker! Delicious!
I’ve done a few indie projects under this pseudonym, including both original fan animation as well as “meme dubs” which have become a pretty popular way for voice actors to share their talents outside of normal roles.
When I’m not collaborating with my friends, I’m typically streaming games that are as stressful as possible! Roleplaying games with permanent character death are some of my favorites. Why subject myself to this? Because the finest diamonds are formed under pressure! Also it’s just plain funny watching me flounder.
