After a distinguished 52-year career in Marine Engineering, Chris Smith retired in 2020 and ventured into acting on the recommendation of his son. Embracing this new passion, Chris has immersed himself in acting classes and has been enthusiastic about developing skills he always felt he had.

Chris’s first experiences in the entertainment industry came as an Extra in 2020, and he began taking speaking parts in early 2021. Notable roles include 'The Professor' in Jerusalem Play (2022), 'Hopeful Christian' in I AM - I Escaped a Cult (2021), and a stills promotion for Olivani Spread.
