After his time in the military, Christian was discovered by an agent who specializes in extras and began appearing in local TV commercials. His first film role was in "The Gratitude Project," a documentary featuring Samira Wiley.
Following the completion of "The Gratitude Project," Christian was cast in the first season of Peacock's "Traitors," where he garnered attention for his dynamic performance and gameplay. Christian and his civilian cast members received an Emmy for their outstanding work during the show's inaugural season.
Recently, Christian completed filming his first independent short film, "Here In The Shadows," produced by Enigma Studios and directed by Jake Miosge. In the film, Christian portrays 'Wyatt Jennings,' a Tier 1 Operator in the United States Armed Forces.
