Christopher Severio

Born in Louisiana, Christopher Severio was immersed in acting and performing at a very young age. He appeared alongside his brother in several of Tony Severio's, his father, short films. Having a severe case of the acting bug, Christopher enhanced his craft with extensive training with some of New Orleans best acting coaches. After several small part and film appearances including stunt work, Chris appeared in his father's film, Rugaru, as the supporting character Blake. The film stars Randall Oliver and Joe Estevez. Next came a supporting role as the Beer Knight in Fox Digital Studio's series, Suit Up, directed by Christopher Leone and starring Marc Evan Jackson and Barry Corbin. The series was a success and Fox launched another season bringing Christopher back in the now popular character, the Beer Knight. Following Suit Up, Christopher landed the lead role in the film, Greater directed by David Hunt and starring Neal McDonough, Leslie Easterbrook, Michael Parks and Nick Searcy. Christopher played the character and unlikely career of Brandon Burlsworth. Written off by fellow teammates and coaches alike, Brandon displayed dogged determination in the face of staggering odds. By 1999, Burlsworth was not only a star player in the toughest conference in college football, but he was also an All-American and taken as an early draft pick in the NFL by the Indianapolis Colts. Eleven days after being drafted into the NFL and before he was able to sign the contract that would change the financial status of his struggling family forever, Brandon tragically died in a car accident. The film is scheduled for release in January of 2016. Christopher is cast in another of his father's films, Heinous where he plays the father of a young girl. The film is a horror story based on found footage. Outside of acting, Christopher enjoys gaming, weight lifting and family and friends.
