Born:

Birthplace:
Sherman Oaks, California
Birth Name:
Christopher Lee Kattan
Christopher Lee Kattan was born in Sherman Oaks California to Hajni Kattan and Kip King (born Jerome Kattan). They divorced when Chris was two. His mother remarried to Marc Joslyn and he lived with the both of them in a Zen Community in Mt. Baldy. On the weekends he would go to L.A. to visit his dad.

Chris attended high school at Bainbridge Island where his favourite subjects were Theatre and Study Hall. He didn't really fit in with the other kids and he didn't make any real friends until he started doing impressions of some of the teachers. It was then that people at school

… More started to really like him.

After he graduated from high school, Chris moved to the L.A. area to join up with the improv/sketch comedy group The Groundlings, whilst studying acting and directing at the California State University, Northridge. Chris was discovered when a producer from Saturday Night Live saw him performing at the Groundlings and she flew him over to New York for an audition. He became a featured player of SNL in March of 1996, and a cast member in September of the same year. He currently lives in L.A. with his Dalmatian, Lola who apparently fakes injuries and was half the basis of Chris' famous SNL character, Mango (the other half being his Russian ex-girlfriend).

    Chris Kattan. hide show

    Chris Kattan,
    He was very funny on the hit show Saturday Night Live. With bunches of characters. One big one was Mango. To me during his time on the show he was one of the funniest. And thats probably how he will be remember for. I would actually like to see more of him in the future.

    Do you agree?
