After a period of over six years, Chase's experience in the corporate world in New York, Dallas, San Francisco, and Chicago ultimately led him to a profound realization: there was more to life than simply working for Hi-Tech companies and start-up businesses.
Like many others who venture to Hollywood every day with a sense of wonder and optimism, Chase had a strong desire to become a professional actor. As a Los Angeles native, he didn't have to travel far to pursue his dream, geographically speaking.
However, he was aware that giving up his financial stability would likely require him to wait tables to make ends meet, and he would have to be patient before achieving his goal. Nevertheless, Chase was confident that it would all be worthwhile in the long run.
Seeking clarity and a fresh perspective, Chase embarked on a journey to Barcelona, Spain before returning to Los Angeles to pursue acting full-time.
Born in Los Angeles, Chase was raised in various locations around the world, including South Korea, Panama, and Peru, which undoubtedly had a profound impact on his worldview.
Chase graduated in 1997 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History and Political Science from the University of California, San Diego. As a huge fan of the LA Dodgers, he is passionate about his favorite baseball team.
