He discusses setbacks including being teased after shaving his head, his first paid post-college gig role-playing for the FBI at the Savannah Airport, time in New York, and feeling like a professional through Savannah Cabaret and Bay Street Theatre.   Chris shares horror stories about noisy set changes during a high school Crucible and entering early in Rent.
