I met Chris in Kingston, Jamaica in 2013 during pre-production for a scripted series I was producing. The following year, I helped him transition into the NYC market, finding him an agent, and submitting him for commercial & film roles. He's now navigating the Toronto market, auditioning for commercials and continuing his theatre career, acting, directing, and set designing for Jamaican plays.
He's a character actors who's played a gang leader's henchman, the long lost son, the corrupt rookie officer, or the man who fell in love with a ghost. No matter what the role, Chris M. Hutchinson brings his brand of raw, animated play to the stage or screen. His love of complex characters is rooted in his commitment to studying human behavior.
