Chris Yamez

Chris Yamez is an actor, musician and content creator of Congolese descent, based out of Vancouver, Canada. Chris began acting at a young age, participating in school plays and short film projects. He quickly realized that he loved it, finding catharsis in the process of developing a character and becoming a completely different person through the art of theatre and drama. He subsequently began attending open auditions for local and nationwide commercials in his early youth. 

After some time away to focus on schooling, Chris began his journey anew by throwing himself headlong into the world of modelling, joining agencies and forming connections with different creatives along the way. Eventually, he began his acting journey proper once again, and the experience gathered from modelling had proven useful in networking and finding early work in indie projects and silent films. During this period, he also amassed a considerable following across multiple social media platforms, namely TikTok and Instagram. 

Since that time, Chris has had a handful of notable roles in projects such as ALERT: Missing Persons Unit (FOX), The Chinatown Diner, and video game projects The Wayfarer and FogTown, set to release late 2024.

Apart from acting, Chris boasts a myriad of different skill sets and two degrees under his belt in both graphic design from the Alberta University of the Arts, and software development from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology. He is also a talented producer and singer with an impressive 14 commercially released songs in the R&B genre. An unknown fact regarding Chris and his musical history is that he initially began making music not as an R&B artist but as an orchestral composer and arranger.
