Chris Maher

Chris Maher’s story isn’t your average Hollywood spiel. Born in Vallejo, then carted off to New England as a kid, he’s got roots tangled up in Polynesian and Irish heritage—so, yeah, you could say he’s got the luck and the chill. Before he ever set foot on a set, Chris clocked a solid ten years in the Army, and not just pushing paper either. He was actually up there, slicing through Afghan skies as a helicopter pilot, not once but twice. Two tours. Wild. After hanging up the uniform (probably with a massive sigh of relief), Chris finally dove headfirst into the thing that’d been buzzing in the back of his mind forever: acting. No baby steps, either. He landed a juicy supporting role in “Fog Of War”—that’s where people started to really notice him. It wasn’t the safe, easy path, but honestly, nothing about his life screams “safe.” When he’s not soaking up the spotlight, Chris is out chasing waves or messing around with wood in his garage—yeah, actual woodworking, not just for Instagram. He’s big on family too, always dragging them out to discover some new hiking trail or random corner of the world. There’s something about his vibe that’s equal parts adventure junkie and chill neighbor who’ll fix your fence just because. Through it all, you get the sense Chris Maher’s just getting started.
