Biography

Cris Judd, the actor, has embarked on a new journey in his acting career, departing from his roots in dancing and choreography. He recently guest-starred on Unfabulous (2004) alongside Emma Roberts, appeared on sweeps week episodes of Eve (2003),Half & Half (2002),and Everybody Loves Raymond (1996),and had an acting cameo in Bringing Down the House (2003),where he also served as choreographer for Steve Martin's dance scenes.

In addition to his acting work, Cris has also coached several celebrities, including Nicole Kidman for her dance scene in The Human Stain (2003) and Lou Diamond Phillips for a recent role.

Cris was selected as one of People Magazine's "25 Hottest Bachelors" and InTouch Magazine's "20 Hottest Hunks". He gained widespread recognition after appearing on I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! (2002),where he won the hearts of millions of viewers and earned $200,000 for the Make-a-Wish Foundation when he was crowned "King of the Jungle" in a landslide viewer vote.

Before his Hollywood career, Cris spent his early years growing up on Air Force bases in the Philippines and Hawaii. He later moved to Florida, where he spent his high school years. During this time, he was an avid athlete, spending lots of time surfing and golfing. With a 4 handicap, he even considered going pro after graduation but instead went on to college.

While in college, Cris landed his first job at Disney World with friend and colleague, Wayne Brady. It was during this time that he discovered his natural talent for dancing. Within a year, Cris switched jobs and began dancing professionally with Disney. He quickly gained recognition on a national level and was hired to dance with Michael Jackson for the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards.

Cris' dance and choreography career took off after that. He performed at numerous award shows, including the Billboard Music Awards with Céline Dion, the MTV Music Awards with N'SYNC, and the American Music Awards with Enrique Iglesias and Brian McKnight. He also teamed up with famed choreographer Eddie Garcia to choreograph the 2000 Tour for Jordan Knight.

Since then, Cris has danced in and choreographed numerous music videos, including "My Way" for Usher, "Jump, Jive, & Wail" for the Brian Setzer Orchestra, "If I Could Go" for Angie Martinez, and "Tango" for Julio Iglesias. He was also the Director for the music video "Ain't It Funny-Remix" with Ja Rule.

Cris has also ventured into composing, with his first song, "Alive", being selected as the theme song for the movie Enough (2002) (Sony Music/Columbia Pictures). The song went on to be a success on the music charts as well.

On the acting front, Cris has two new feature film projects in the works, along with more sitcom guest-starring appearances. He has also partnered up with Universal, Dean Cain, and long-time choreography partner Eddie Garcia to produce a cutting-edge interactive dance DVD, which will be released in the summer of 2005.
