Chris Beaumont is an actor and voiceover artist with over thirty five years experience in the entertainment industry.

Born on the south coast of England Chris made an traditional early mark in theatre with numerous lead roles in various drama projects which was soon followed by a change of career path from one in the safe world of law to the riskier trade of theatre and TV. A good drinking man's Drama degree (2.1) from Bretton Hall College in West Yorkshire led to him earning his Equity card in the time honoured way - as an Acting ASM in Rep at the Connaught Theatre in Worthing.

Chris has now had over thirty five years experience as an actor mostly in National Tours, West End, Rep, TV and Film.

His musical experience led to him playing alongside Roxy Music's Phil Manzanera in what was probably one of the UK's first "designer" bands - SUB ROSA. The band produced one album - "Interior Design" - and then.....nothing happened.

Chris ran his own theatre production company, Hanover Productions Ltd, from 1997 to 2004 during which time he produced and directed large scale productions of a new adaptation of BRIGHTON ROCK, a revival of Malcolm McKay's PISTOLS - a biopic of the Sex Pistols, 2ND HONEYMOON a new musical based on the iconic album of the same name by cult Liverpool band, Deaf School, a national tour of THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN PEN - a highly acclaimed one man show about the life of Ian Fleming written and performed by Mark Burgess, and in 2000 he adapted, produced and directed (the only) world stage premiere of WITHNAIL AND I at Brighton's Komedia. He has also been involved in a considerable amount of music and theatre promotion over the last ten years when he ran his own pub music/theatre venue in Brighton.

Chris continues to work as an actor almost exclusively in TV and Film and Voiceovers.
