At first you may not recognize the name, but you immediately recognize the face, as his memorable collection of work, both TV and film, is quite extensive. Chris Mulkey has an unbridled passion for acting and he's been at it for over 30 years. With such big screen credits as FIRST BLOOD, RADIO, AMERICAN GIRL, BULLWORTH, THE FAN, 48 HOURS, RADIO, and numerous others, Chris continues to deliver the necessary character figure needed in every movie.

His handsomely, weathered look is unforgettable and his well-driven work ethic has found him also appearing on some of television's most watched episodes. As ex-con Hank Jennings on cult-fave, "TWIN PEAKS" to his appealing family man portrayal in Lifetime's acclaimed series, "ANY DAY NOW", as well as guest appearances, too many to name. And then, there's made for television movie roles, BROKEN TRAIL -Robert Duval. VIETNAM WAR STORIES, BEHIND ENEMY LINES AND WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRACTION - all for HBO. Viewers can probably catch Chris, on some channel or another, at any given time. Chris was most recently on "Cold Case" , on CBS.

Along the way, he developed a knack for writing and singing songs. Songs that tell stories about everyday life in the past lane. Songs that paint aural portraits of America and beyond. And, as his acting career reaches an all time high (he'll appear in 6 six films this year) his musical career has taken flight as well.

A chance encounter, with some aspiring music producers from South Louisiana, has created a new avenue to the aspiring tunesmith. Within months of meeting Eddie Bodin and Rick Lagneaux, the creative wheels began turning and a project, the magnitude of which Chris had never pursued, took shape in the form of over 16 new ideas which were recorded and are now being finalized for future release. Two of the songs, "I Remember You"and "Living in White Trash Heaven", have already produced as promotional videos and a tour of the US & Canada is currently being discussed. Both have won spots in film festivals.
