Now, as he reflects back at where it all started from, he realizes that this isn’t the life he had dreamt of.
What?
You and I both need to know more!
Kris revealed that his first acting project, which was a role in the movie, ‘Young Ivanhoe’, was actually an attempt to make some money, which he needed to fund his passion as an athlete. Being a member of the Canadian National Pentathlon Team, Kris was ambitious about his career in sports, and had never aspired to be an actor.
Yikes!
Interestingly, he got selected for the role because of his prowess as a rider and fencer. Lacking any other professional training in acting, Kris had no hopes of landing any other roles in his kitty.
However, it seems that fate had different plans in store for him.
It wasn’t long before veteran actor Michael Ironside took Kris under his wing and trained him about the dos and don’ts of the world of cinema. By then, Kris had begun enjoying being an actor, and luck was on his side, as he was never out of work.
The rest, as they say, is history!
Being at the peak of his acting career, Kris now considers Gene Hackman to be his role model, saying that he admires his work, as well as the way he keeps his personal life separate from his professional life.
You can download Lost Girl to see the actor in the latest episodes of the series.
Au revoir till the next time!
