Chris’ first major studio film role was in academy award nominated Alan Parker's Feature The Life of David Gale. In his most recent role, you can find him going toe-to-toe with Academy Award Winner Nicolas Cage in the independent feature Willy's Wonderland. You may also recognize him opposite Tommy Lee Jones in the Academy Award-winning film No Country for Old Men or with Benicio Del Toro's Jackie Boy in the ground-breaking movie Frank Miller’s Sin City.

In addition to his successful movie roles, you might have also seen him on the television shows Prison Break, Criminal Minds, Friday Night Lights, The Event, NCIS: Los Angeles, Justified, Shut Eye, and American Auto. As one of the most respected character actors of his generation, Chris has cemented himself as an edgy, intense artist who leaves nothing to chance when he appears on-screen.

When he's not sharpening his acting chops, bangin' away at a keyboard on his next storied adventure or laying down his next Voice-over project, he can be found spending time with his queen at the beach, helping to rescue animals-in-need, supporting his beloved Texas Longhorns and leading his mission-driven brand Badass Original.

This is one epic episode! It's a bit longer than our usual episode, for a couple of reasons. 1) Our guest was running late, but we didn't know... so we spend a lot of time discussing other things waiting... and 2) We. Didn't. Want. It. To. End. I debated whether to edit out the bits where we were waiting for the guest to show up for time, but as I've said before... this is us... we're real, glitches happen, wrong buttons get pressed... and guests are sometimes late. But the show must go on!

Our guest is the incredible DC "The Brain Supreme" Glenn of multiplatinum hip-hop duo TAG TEAM... and we expected to talk about his career and of course, the song that skyrocketed them into pop culture legend status... and we did... but we did not expect to also have so much inspiring advice and wisdom dropped. DC is full of motivational ideas and energy, and we didn't want it to stop!

If you have a dream or a creative idea... I hope you're as inspired as we were by this interview with DC. He's a great person and a class act.
