Chris shared some interesting details about his journey on the drama series. He revealed that before joining the cast, he worked as a writer on the show.
“What many will not know is that I was one of the writers of the second season of the show in 2014. Yes, you heard right. I was just a writer then, still wet behind the ears.
“Four years later, Bomb calls me in and offers me the role of Dabula. I thought I was dreaming. I must have asked Angus about 5 times if he was sure I was gonna be able to play the role. I hadn’t acted before,” he said.
