Chriss Anglin Signing In

Got your attention, hey?
by Chriss Anglin

Hi TVWriter fans.  Since my very good friend Larry Brody asked me to become a contributor here, I thought it was about time I got off my ass and did so.

So, I’ll begin with a little introduction and brief bio of who I am and how I got here.

My name’s Chriss Anglin, and as much as I know it will annoy all you genius writers, I am an actor first and foremost.  About 15 years ago, I was a small town deputy sheriff in New Mexico.  When I was offered the opportunity to work undercover narcotics, I thought that taking a theater class might help me with the job.  It did, but I also got hooked on acting, being the natural ham I am.  About 12 years ago, a buddy I had done theater with, came back from LA after attempting to make in movies and talked me into his “Acting for Film” class.  It sounded fun, so I did it.  That was it.  I fell in love with making movies. read article
