When he was thirteen, he auditioned for Aisling Walsh's acclaimed feature film, Song for a Raggy Boy, which he had to audition for six times before eventually being cast in the role of Patrick Delaney.

Career

After a summer of filming with Aidan Quinn, Iain Glen and Marc Warren, Chris landed a role in the TV series, The Clinic, alongside a young Saoirse Ronan, who played his sister. For the next few years, he juggled school work with leading roles in Love is the Drug, Stardust, and Aisling's Diary. In 2009, he teamed up with Robert Sheehan for the second time in the crime-drama Love/Hate (TV series). He worked previously with Sheehan on Song for a Raggy Boy. In 2010, he had a small part in the comedy gangster film, Perrier's Bounty, also starring Cillian Murphy, Brendan Gleeson, and Jim Broadbent before working with Joe Flanigan and John Rhys-Davies on the Sci-Fi TV movie, Ferocious Planet.

Other Work

He appeared in a documentary for Irish television Hollywood Trials in 2008 and starred in a video for Irish band No Roller's debut single "Ocean". His first taste of theatre was when he took the lead role in Chatroom.
