- At first, Chris did not tell his parents about working the comedy clubs until 3 or 4 in the morning. His parents confronted him one night on suspicion he was out doing drugs. When Chris confessed he was just doing stand-up comedy, his parents were very relieved.

ADD QUOTES
- Chris: No one wants to sleep with me. Girls are like, 'I want you to read this book.' It's never, 'We should go to a hotel.'
  Edit Share Hide
- Chris: I had a one minute part in this movie I'm Gonna Get You Sucka (1988) and its probably the most memorable role I've ever had. People still come up to me and mention it. This just goes to show you that it's not the size of the role that counts, it's what you do with it.

- Chris: My father was a strict disciplinarian. Whenever I said I just wanted to be somewhere early, he would say: 'There's no such thing as early, it's just on time and late'.
