All That Chas We open with an establishing shot of Los Angeles at night. In the competitive world of LA theatre we find Chas, his hip-waders on, knee-deep in the mainstream of the industry, having performed with The Attic Theatre Ensemble, a venerated company of writers, actors, directors and producers, the comedy improv troupe Slow, Children At Play, and Vox Humana Theatre Ensemble in West Los Angeles. Chas has also performed with Write Act Repertory Theater Company in their production of "A Company Of Wayward Saints", and in the world premiere production of "How Katrina Plays." Chas has had the honor of playing Ebeneezer Scrooge in the musical production Bob Cratchet and Mr. Tightwad, and most recently as Andrew Borden in The Lizzy Borden Musical. Chas is looking forward to playing the POW in the upcoming January 2019 production of The POW And The Girl at the Sherry Theatre in North Hollywood, California Www.PowAndGirl.com From his humble beginnings in New York there was little doubt that Chas was destined to be an actor and entertainer, but Chas' route to near fame was to be a circuitous one. As a child, his "impressions" of John Kennedy and other notables wowed his neighbors on suburban Long Island. Chas' parents were so proud. Chas brought his family to Los Angeles at age eleven, knowing this was the place to be. At fifteen, Chas was elected president of The Young Sorcerers Association, a club for young performing magicians in Hollywood. His first legitimate training ground in acting was at the prestigious theatre department of Los Angeles City College (or as the students lovingly referred to it: The University of Vermont, at Melrose). Chas also began his career in radio at this point, as the DJ of a local FM rock 'n' roll show. Several theatrical projects, both in and out of the collegiate setting, followed. Understanding that all life experience is grist for the actor's mill Chas' profound interest in the human condition prompted him to consider further studies, specifically philosophy and psychology. Armed with the knowledge that pursuing the former would prepare him only for roles based on characters selling bathroom products at K-Mart and doubting his own existence, he chose the latter. While he continued attending acting classes, theatrical scene-study workshops, and training dutifully as a voice-over artist, years of study culminated in the acquisition of a Ph.D. degree in clinical psychology. Now a prominent Southern California "shrink," Chas has hosted several psychology call-in radio programs in the LA market, as well as an Internet (audio and video) webcast. As an actor, improvisational comedian, voice-over artist, radio personality and technical advisor, it is clear that Chas lives by his favorite saying: "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got."
