Born Christopher Robert Bowen in the small town of Shawnee, OK, Christopher was the second child of mother Lorna Mae Rosamond and father Robert Larry Bowen. He grew up in the country suburbs of Shawnee with his parents and elder sister Kimberly Dawn Warren. Raised in the country he learned to ride motorcycles at the age of 9, shoot a .22 rifle, and catch crawdads in his family pond with slices of bacon on a string.
While growing up, his mother had him and his sister in the performing arts at a young age. Such events included competitive dance (jazz, hip-hop, and tap), modeling, musical theater, and pageants. By the time he was 14 years old he had a room full of trophies, some taller than he was. Various titles he held was Junior Mr. Camelot (4 different times), Junior Mr. Dance of Oklahoma runner-up, Best Talent (dance), Dance Masters of America "Best Group". Some childhood acting included roles in Annie, Grease, Oliver, and the likes. Dance, modeling and acting weren't the only hobbies his mother invested him in. He also played football, baseball, basketball and wrestled off an on throughout his childhood.
At the beginning of his Junior year of high school, and after getting in constant trouble for bad conduct, and poor attendance, his parents ended up switching him from Shawnee High School to a much smaller Bethel High School, where he eventually graduated from in 1991. It was during his senior year at Bethel High School that he decided to make acting a career. He was the starting quarterback for the football team and ended up getting his neck broke in the first game of the season. After the injury prevented him from playing the rest of the year, he decided to audition for the senior class play in which he got a lead role. He fell back in love with acting and ended up moving to Dallas, TX in the early nineties to pursue an acting career. He quickly landed an agent and started auditioning and landing small parts here and there before moving to Los Angeles, CA in 1998 to further pursue his new founded career.
He again landed an agent and started to book some parts before meeting his wife Frances Rose Verrell. It was at this time that he decided to settle down and start a family. He, along with his wife, ended up having three kids so he put acting career on hold until 2010 at which time he decided to start his career back up by auditioning for several plays. He first booked the role of a featured ensemble cast in the production of Evita. After that he landed the role of Cpt. Jack Ross (Kevin Bacon role) in the hard hitting play "A Few Good Men" by Aaron Sorkin. He was a stand out in the play and won the Ventura County "Four Star Award" for "Outstanding Supporting Performance by a Male" for his role at Moorpark High Street Theater.
