- Christopher T. Young is a Long Beach-based actor, retired U.S. Army Major, and world champion powerlifter. A native of Whittier, California, Christopher's path to acting was anything but conventional. After enlisting in the U.S. Army, he earned a coveted appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point. Over a 24-year career as an Airborne Ranger Infantry Officer, he successfully led American soldiers in combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Towards the end of his military career, he channeled that same discipline into professional powerlifting, becoming a world champion with 22 first-place finishes and best lifts of a 905 pound squat and a 550 pound bench press. He has also dedicated time to mentoring youth as a high school and college teacher, and is a devoted husband and father of five. Since launching his acting career in January 2026, Christopher has quickly become a sought-after presence for physically imposing and authoritative roles. With over 40 credits in vertical dramas, television, short films, and digital productions, he is known on set for his professionalism, strong work ethic, and collaborative spirit. His unique combination of real-world military leadership, elite athleticism, and commanding presence allows him to bring unmatched authenticity to roles as military personnel, law enforcement, bodyguards, prison guards, security professionals, and enforcers, while also bringing warmth and approachability when the role calls for it.
