Weird Science, Sliders, Cleopatra 2525, Star Trek: Enterprise, Desperate Housewives, Mad Men, Ugly Betty, Lone Star, Outcast, Invincible, Severance (which is why he's here today), and most recently, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.
Chris oversaw the Severance Season 1 writer's room and is the credited writer on Episode 8 (though as you'll learn in today's interview, which parts of which episode which writer actually wrote gets a bit complicated.)

Part 2: Episodes 1-3 (and wine pairings with those episodes)
Part 3: Episodes 4-6 (and wine pairings with those episodes)
Part 4: Episodes 7-9 (and wine pairings with those episodes)

CHRIS' BEVERAGE PAIRING:
Cali Squeeze Blood Orange Wheat Ale, Firestone Walker Brewing Company, San Louis Obispo, California
Brewed with real blood orange for maximum refreshment. A crisp, ruby red beer with juicy orange and fresh citrus flavors, that always go down easy. Cali Squeeze is a Hefeweizen (wheat ale) that includes barley malt, malted wheat, toasted wheat, and Cara-malt. Refreshing, low in bitterness, pale yellow, and slightly hazy.
5% ABV, 15 IBU
