Chris Roan is an Arizona-based actor, Navy veteran, podcaster, and former Fortune 100 executive who brings a commanding presence and raw authenticity to every role. Standing 6’4” with a deep, expressive voice and grounded charisma, Chris naturally fits military leaders, action heroes, law enforcement figures, dramatic leads, and strong-but-soft comedic dads.
With a namesake rooted in exploration—his parents named him Christopher after Christopher Columbus—Chris has carried the spirit of adventure since birth. A proud Navy veteran, he’s traveled the world, led global teams, and now channels that breadth of life experience into every character he inhabits. With Viking heritage and a soul built for movement, Chris is available to perform wherever the story takes him—regionally, nationally, or internationally.
Chris is proudly represented by Leighton Agency and is actively training with Dustin B. at Acting & Cold Brews in Phoenix. His journey into acting is fueled by a deep love of storytelling and a lifelong desire to entertain, inspire, and connect, just as Star Wars once did for him growing up in a remote town in Wyoming.
A U.S. Navy veteran with real-world weapons and survival training, Chris also brings athleticism (football, basketball, swimming, jiu-jitsu), podcasting experience (Barzinga), and two decades of high-stakes public speaking to the screen. His background includes corporate video appearances, team-building leadership, and collaboration with professional media teams across digital production.
Outside of acting, Chris is a science and space enthusiast, a former scuba diver and skydiver, and a curious adventurer with a passion for understanding how the universe works—and how a single story can make someone feel seen.
He is non-union and available worldwide for commercial, theatrical, and voiceover work.
