Christian Lee(I)

Christian J. Lee, born Christian J. Lee on July 5th, began acting at the mortifying age of 7. His first taste of theater was at the Laguna Moulton Playhouse, (which Harrison Ford frequented in his early acting days), in Laguna Beach, California. Finding an undeniable affinity for performing, he locked himself in his closet for 16 years and communicated with no one. (That's not true of course, it was actually an abandoned underground barbeque pit and it was 17 years). He went on to star in both musical and dramatic theater in the following years. By age 8 he was starring in multiple industrial films and began doing TV commercials, films, modeling, and voice work. After H.S. he was chosen as the #1 pick for the B.F.A. program at U.S.C., located in one of the safest and most beautiful areas of Los Angeles, Watts. Dodging bullets and avoiding stab wounds, he studied acting and English. Studying Shakespeare and the various methods intensely with the likes of Academy Award winner Maximilian Schell, and actors like Kevin Kline and John Ritter he starred in many classical and contemporary plays at U.S.C.. After graduating in four years and having become classically trained in acting, voice/singing, dialects, and movement- he did what all well-studied thespians do, stand-up comedy. Stand-up became a way of honing his skills as a comedic and dramatic actor. Christian has opened for Howie Mandel, Arsenio Hall, Dane Cook, and many others. He has played all over Los Angeles and many other states and most of Canada-even New Brunswick. Christian has studied the craft of acting for over 19 years. Thus, when he is not working as an actor or an emcee touring the world, he is surfing, skimboarding, skiing, mountain biking, or playing drums in whatever band he is in at that moment.
