Christopher Geer

Christopher Geer is known for his gritty, honest and passionate performances. Christopher was born Christopher Russell McCord Geer on October 4th, 1983 in Sidney, Montana. He moved to Southern California with his family when the oil industry went bust in the mid-eighties. He grew up in Orange, California and quickly began entertaining his family in backyard stunt shows. If there was a camera running Christopher was in front of it. He played many sports as a youth including Gymnastics, Baseball, Bowling, Golf, Weight-lifting and various Martial Arts. Upon entering High School Geer began writing and producing his own plays and short films. At his junior college, Orange Coast College, Geer wrote and directed plays while also starring in film. At OCC he became a sketch-writer and performer in the group "The Instruments of Destruction," starring himself, Teddy Spencer, Jason Justin, Thomas Kellogg, Blake Anderson, and Adam Devine. After obtaining his Associates Degree he transferred to California State University Fullerton, where he worked his way through the very competitive "jury process" in order to graduate with the school's first official BFA Acting class in 2009. Christopher Geer has performed in over 30 plays, with roles as diverse as a sympathetic physicist in Patrick Marber's K2 sharing the spotlight with Adam Navarro, to Judas Iscariot in The Last Days of Judas Iscariot. Geer graduated Magna Cum Laude. After a short stint performing in theatre productions ranging from Shakespeare, to Oscar Wilde, Geer performed as the dynamic lead character and narrator Cole in the breakout short film Outside Paradise which premiered last year at the Cannes Film Festival. The feature length film version of Outside Paradise is in the works. Other upcoming projects include the character of Jesse Kreutzer in a film he wrote entitled Skinned, and he is up for the part of Carter Valentine in the upcoming production of Red Coat. Geer's intense performances have won him much acclaim and several awards. He often jokes, "if you threw James Dean,Steve McQueen, Thomas Jane, Guy Peirce, and Andrew Lincoln in a blender you'd end up with me."
