Chris joins Season 4 of “Reacher” and Short Film Premiere

by TeeJay

Exciting news! Chris has been cast in the Amazon Prime crime show Reacher which is going into its fourth season. Based on a book series by Lee Child, the show follows ex-Army military police officer Jack Reacher who now lives a nomadic life, drifting from town to town, helping to uncover conspiracies, solve crimes or bring justice to a corrupt system.

Chris has now officially joined the cast of Reacher Season 4, stepping into the role of Jacob Merrick, a small‑town police officer who becomes Reacher’s key ally. Interesting about this is that Chris’s Fanboys co-star Jay Baruchel had originally been announced in the role only weeks earlier, but exited due to personal reasons. Chris was then rapidly recast to fill the role.

Season 4 is based on the thirteenth Reacher novel, Gone Tomorrow, in which Reacher investigates a suspicious suicide on a New York subway and teams up with Merrick to unravel a dangerous conspiracy involving terrorism and political corruption. Production of season 4 is already in full swing and we have a few behind the scenes photos of Chris on set in our gallery.

In other news, Chris’s first own short film called Cast Away, Sorta is premiering at LA Film Festival this year. Chris himself describes the film as “funny, quirky, ambitious film about a celebrity talent agent stuck at home during Covid lockdown and going full Cast Away” on his Instagram. It co-stars the above mentioned Jay Baruchel and, among others, Alexandra Breckenridge, Anthony Carrigan, Amanda Crew, Karen David, Dan Fogler, Aaron Jennings, Adhir Kalyan, Margarita Levieva, Alan Tudyk and Mae Whitman.

by TeeJay

Two new movies have popped up on Chris’s IMDb list.

Hiding Places

This movie premiered at Twin Cities Film Festival in October 2023. Nothing much is known about it and it’s not clear when or whether it will see a wider release. The short summary of the movie is “Hiding Places highlights the hardships faced by an interracial couple. The family in this dramatic comedy is forced to settle issues of trust and mend old wounds that resurface.”

Drowning

This movie is a story after the novel by T.J. Newman by the same title that’s about the survivors of a plane crash in the Pacific Ocean. It’s currently in production.

RZR

The first two episodes of the web3 series RZR that Chris stars in can now be watched via the gala.com website. All you need to do is register a free account and then you’ll have access to the short film length episodes you can stream via the website. New episodes are added every Sunday at 12pm Pacific time.

A few updates

by TeeJay

Chris has been working on a few projects lately, some of which are now out there to look at.

The Influencer Show

Together with his friends Andrew McFarlane and Dov Tiefenbach, Chris made a web comedy series called The Influencer Show which is available to watch on YouTube. Check it out if somewhat slapsticky comedy is your thing. Chris plays the main guy in it, and he lets his comedic talent shine.

RZR

Chris stars in a new Web3 series called RZR. There’s a teaser up on IMDb and on YouTube, and there’s also a short interview with the creator David Bianchi up on YouTube. It’s a sci-fi thriller that’s set in a very dystopian future, and the teaser gives off a definite Cyberpunk 2077 vibe. Chris seems to be in at least seven of the eight episodes.

The series is being made available exclusively through Gala Film and you can purchase access through NFTs.

Sour Party

The indie movie Sour Party Chris starred in is now making the rounds at the film festivals. It premiered at Chattanooga Film Festival in June last year where it received the audience award for best feature. It was also shown at the Sydney Underground Film Fest in September and the Austin Film Festival in October.

The trailer is up on YouTube, a wider release date is not yet known.
