Christopher Warwick

Born in Durham, England in 1971, Christopher's family moved to Southern Ireland at age 6 where he spent a short time modeling clothes for a number of Irish catalogues. His break into the film industry came a year later after a producer, whilst at a photo shoot, spotted him and invited him to screen test for an Irish TV soap. Amongst his many successes as a child actor, Chris performed as Artful Dodger in a nationwide tour of Oliver! (Bill Kenwright Ltd. ) and appeared in numerous television shows both in England and Ireland. But fearing this was affecting his academic work, Christopher's father directed him to concentrate more on school and so he slowly broke away from his success on the film and theater circuit. Remnants of Christopher's acting bug stayed with him through university where he studied double major in Psychology and English Literature. He spent summer vacations from university in work at North American summer camps, largely directing youth theater and teaching children how to act. Back at home, he taught drama as a volunteer for a local society and began directing plays and musicals for them. At last, Chris had found the place he felt most comfortable and most capable. Unfortunately, Chris still did not recognize this as his career intention. After leaving university he started teaching full time to pay the bills whilst receiving professional actors coaching at the London Academy for Music and Dramatic Art.
