Kris began acting at the age of eight with the assistance of his father, screenwriter/producer Keith Kjornes. He never treated it as the profession it is today, largely because he perceived it to be an exciting hobby. His first real commitment to the craft was in his early high school years attending the theatre department programs that were locally provided at Southwest High School in Fort Worth. With self-study and the right environment of professionals, he later started landing lead and supporting roles in short and feature length films.

His latest feature film will be direct to DVD, titled “Treasure in tha Hood” , directed by Greg Carter, and signed by talent agent titan William Morris. He’s currently engaged on clarifying the details of representation with this agency to further his career opportunities. His love for independent filmmaking and experience in small budget films such as “Lebensborn”, “Time Tracers” and “Surveillance” granted him early knowledge of industry social networking, acting with the likes of Jeffery Combs, Tyler Mason, and Todd Bridges.

His plans for the future you ask? To take it all in stride. Entertainment for the masses doesn’t necessarily mean good entertainment. Kris will do what he can with what he has, and if it isn’t much, then he never should have been an actor in the first place.
