Christopher Michael Banks, an unconventional actor, host, and entrepreneur, is rapidly becoming the face of horror. Beyond his numerous appearances on horror television, Banks has made a name for himself as a nightlife sensation, hosting parties at nightclubs across the nation, strolling the red carpets of Hollywood, and rubbing shoulders with the elite at exclusive events within the Playboy Mansion.
Born in Anchorage, Alaska, and raised in Boise, Idaho, Banks' journey began in Ogden, Utah, where he pursued a degree in public relations and honed his skills as a NCAA Division 1 track and field athlete at Weber State University. He later transferred to the University of Texas at Austin to earn his bachelor's degree in communications. During his time in school, Banks also trained in acting at the prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Hollywood. His early success in independent films led his manager to persuade him to return to Hollywood, where he would eventually launch his career.
Since the age of 21, Banks has achieved international recognition as a party host. In addition to his hosting endeavors, he has co-starred in prominent horror films, such as "BloodRayne: Deliverance" and "Wicked Lake," and has made appearances on MTV and VH1. In 2011, he was nominated for a SpikeTV Scream Award, an annual ceremony honoring the best in horror and science fiction.
With his unwavering dedication to his craft, television is merely the beginning of Banks' story.
