Chris Addison
After starring in BBC Two's multi award winning comedy 'The Thick of It', for which he received a British Comedy Award nomination for Best Newcomer, 2009 saw Chris making his big screen debut alongside James Gandolfini. ‘In the Loop’ is an exciting, fast paced political comedy that looks at what happens when the people in power realise their careers are on the line.
Increasingly well known on camera, Chris’s talent also extends behind the scenes, as he is an established writer who has written and starred in his own sitcom, Lab Rats, for BBC Two, and has written two novels: Cautionary Tales for Grown-Ups and It wasn't Me.
