Christian Stokes
Acting Instructor
From undercover biker cop in “Monster” featuring an Academy Award winning performance from Charlize Theron, to an intimidating mob enforcer going through cigarette withdrawals opposite of Brad Dourif and Kenny Johnson in the indy feature, “Few Options”, Christian has embraced these characters with intensity and a raw, talented grit.
Christian Stokes was raised in East Texas and grew up the oldest son of a firefighter. He credits his laid back, easy going manner to growing up with his grandparents and learning the value of hard work and determination. That focus has led Christian to working steadily in show business for 26 years. He is an 8-year veteran of the Hollywood film scene, having performed with such actors as Jennifer Garner, Matthew McConaughey, Bruce Dern, and Sylvester Stallone. Some of his other highlighted credits include “Doom Patrol”, “Leverage:Redemption”, “Nashville”, “Escape Plan”, “Revolution”, “God’s Not Dead 4”, “Alias” and “Bernie” starring Jack Black.
Christian recently returned from a European Tour where he directed performances for the popular Marvel Universe Live stunt spectacular, one of the biggest action shows to ever go on tour. He visited 96 cities and 11 countries in a span of 2.5 years. Christian currently resides in Atlanta and has teamed with Prodigy Talent Training, where he once more coaches up and coming actors in film acting, audition technique and the business of show business.
