Chris Gann

Chris Gann is an actor and former Jet Ski racer who grew up on a goat farm in Reno, Nevada. A world and national champion on the water before he turned to performing, he earned a communications degree at Cal State Sacramento and then moved to Los Angeles to act, finding almost no early success. His break came when Rob Cohen cast him in the Sony blockbuster xXx (2002), alongside Vin Diesel and Samuel L. Jackson, and he later worked with Diesel again on Disney's comedy The Pacifier. He has gone on to more than 25 television guest appearances, over 30 films and dozens of national commercials, and as a stunt performer he earned a Screen Actors Guild nomination for Transformers Dark Side of the Moon (2011). He has also worked with directors Adam Shankman, Eriq La Salle and Michael Bay.
