Christopher Stollery was born the 12th of August 1965. He has three brothers and three sisters and is the youngest but one. When Christopher was 9 years old, his father passed away.
After he finished school, Christopher went to the National Institute of
Dramatic Arts in Sydney. In 1987 he graduated. Since then Christopher is
a familiar face in Australian theatres. In an interview he said he
preferred theatre to acting in televisions shows because you have more
interaction with your audience whilst on stage. He was an associated
actor to the Bell Shakespeare Company and that's why he played many
(leading) roles like Hamlet and Mark Anthony in Shakespeare's plays.
