Christopher's remarkable affinity for the performing arts can be attributed to a pivotal moment in 1981, when he made the bold decision to enroll in an acting class at the University of Toledo, concurrently receiving a football scholarship. This marked the beginning of his journey, which would eventually unfold into a lifelong passion for the arts.
As Christopher departed Toledo in 1982, he ventured to Youngstown State University to pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications and public relations. His academic pursuits concluded in 1986, after which he embarked on a career in radio, serving as an announcer for a small AM station in Salem, Ohio.
However, Christopher soon discovered that this profession did not fully satisfy his artistic aspirations, prompting him to rekindle his passion for acting, a pursuit that had been his true calling all along. He went on to appear in numerous student indie films and secure SAG work, ultimately realizing his full potential as a talented actor.
