Lugar y fecha de nacimiento. Christopher McDonald Actor Born: New York, NY Education: Hobart College, Geneva, NY; Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, London; London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts; S.A. Conservatory of Acting, NY Handsome supporting actor with striking eyes who began his career in teenage screen roles, beginning with GREASE 2 (1982), and later played seemingly ordinary but sometimes sly character types. McDonald is probably best remembered for his performance as the crude husband of Geena Davis character in the hit road movie THELMA Y LOUISE (1991). Born and raised in New York City, McDonald was a pre-med major before the acting bug bit during his senior year at Hobart College. His first professional engagement was in the touring company of Elizabeth Swados' musical Nightclub Cantata. When the show reached LA, other opportunities came his way, leading to his screen debut as one of the T-Birds in GREASE 2. More teen-oriented projects WHERE THE BOYS ARE '84 (1984) and BREAKIN' (1984), followed, but McDonald managed to work in a stay in London, where he studied for 18 months. Upon his return to LA, guest spots on TV came along, as did a number of movies on the small and big screens, among them the comedies CHATTANOOGA CHOO CHOO (1984) and OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE (1987). McDonald had regular roles on short-lived series Call to Glory (1984-85) y Walter and Emily (1991-92). The 90s saw an increase in McDonald's feature work: he appeared in the spoof DISTRACCION FATAL (1993) as a mechanic plotting murder and in Robert Redford EL DILEMA - QUIZ SHOW (1994) where he was especially fine as Jack Barry, the host of 21.
