About Chris

A working actor.
In your corner.

Chris O'Shea is a working actor with credits from Riverdale, YOU, Madam Secretary, Patriots Day, and extensive voiceover and ADR work across film and television.

He teaches screen acting and on-camera performance at Bow Street Academy LA — Ireland's national screen acting school, now based at The Lot at Formosa in West Hollywood. The Bow Street method trains actors to work with the camera, not for it: grounded in psychology, truth, and on-camera fluency.

That same approach shapes every session here. The goal is to help you feel relaxed, truthful, and confident on camera — whether you're submitting a network audition or deepening your craft.

Client Words

What actors say

“

I came in feeling nervous about a big network audition and left feeling genuinely confident in my tape. Chris has an instinct for what casting wants. He pushed me just enough.

Sarah M. Series Regular Audition · Network TV
“

Having a reader who actually understands acting makes such a difference. The tape looked great, but more importantly, I did my best work. I booked the job.

“

I've been to a few self-tape studios and this is the only one where someone actually cares about the performance. It doesn't feel like a transaction — it feels like a collaboration.
