Christopher grew up in Cheshire and Leicestershire. His earliest memories of the stage include The Sooty Show in Crewe and an annual family trip to the Christmas Pantomime at Nottingham Playhouse. While at school in Ashby de la Zouch, he was targeted by the Oxford Access Scheme, a scheme designed to encourage applications to Oxford University by people from lower socio-economic backgrounds and state schools with no tradition of sending pupils to apply. After attending a 3-day shadowing programme at Oxford he applied to study Human Sciences, and got in. Sport remained his focus whilst at Oxford, captaining the University Gymnastics team, founding his college table tennis club, and representing his college in netball, basketball, football and cricket. From here he moved to London after being offered a place on a graduate scheme in a leading advertising agency. It was during his 7 years in advertising that he really discovered and fell in love with theatre. He vividly remembers seeing his first dramatic play in 2009 - IF THERE IS I HAVEN'T FOUND IT YET by Nick Payne, directed by Josie Rourke and starring Rafe Spall at the old Bush Theatre. Utterly inspired, his mind was opened to the possibilities of theatre, and the acting seed was firmly planted. From here he joined The Tower Theatre Company to get some early experience and after finally paying off his student loans, applied to a one-year course at Royal Central. He is trained in screen-acting by David Penn.
