The name Christopher, or Chris for short, has been around, it seems, since the beginning of time. It was the most popular male name in the United States for decades and was top twenty in the United Kingdom from the 1940s until the mid 1990s. The name has a biblical origin meaning “Christ-bearer”.
A lot of famous men have carried this name. There is a Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travelers, royalty like Christopher I and Christopher II, both kings of Denmark, and Christopher Marlowe the English playwright who has been credited with inspiring William Shakespeare to write. Today, there are many famous Chris’ in film and television. Which one are you based on your zodiac?
Aquarius: Chris Rock
People born under the Aquarius sign have a lot of balance. They may seem shy or quiet initially, but when they are comfortable and in their element, they come to life and become very energetic.
They are also very intellectual people. Chris Rock, born on February 7th, is an Aquarius and it shows, especially in his stand-up comedy. Chris Rock has a lot of energy on stage and his jokes are not only hysterical but thought-provoking.
Pisces: Chris Klein
The Pisces sign is a water sign, which makes people born under this sign very intuitive and artistic. They may be soft-spoken, but it’s because their minds are constantly moving and they have an innate ability to stay very present and engaged with their current situation and the people around them.
Chris Klein, born on March 14th, has a very Pisces presence. He is always so focused and connected in his work, it’s clear his ability to stay present is intuitive.
Aries: Christopher Walken
The Aries sign is symbolized by fire making Aries folks a little unpredictable. The Aries sign is one of the most active and they tend to be very energetic and competitive. They are also risk-takers both personally and professionally. No other actor is quite as unpredictable and embraces risks more than Christopher Walken.
Walken, who was born on March 31st has all the elements of the Aries sign and has become one of the most loved actors in the industry because of his fiery nature.
Taurus: Chris Brown
The Taurus sign is one of the most grounded signs in the zodiac. They are practical and very realistic. They are also a very stubborn sign, which can work to their advantage when it comes to their professional lives because they won’t walk away from something if it hasn’t been completed.
Chris Brown, born on May 5th carries his Taurus energy well. He works hard, which is why he’s had so much success and been able to maintain his career, even through personal controversy.
Gemini: Chris Evans
People born under the Gemini sign are very intelligent and witty. This sign is frequently referred to as “the twins” because Gemini folks often have two very different sides to their personality, which are easily accessible, so you never really know what you’re going to get with a Gemini.
Chris Evans, born on June 13th, is an incredibly versatile actor, which could possibly be due to the fact that he is a Gemini and can access those different sides of his personality for his work.
Cancer: Chris Pratt
The Cancer sign is a very friendly sign but they are also incredibly protective over the people they love the most. Cancers have incredible imaginations and can make just about anything seem fun.
Chris Pratt, born June 21st, shows his Cancer energy in his work. He makes interesting choices and brings his unique personality to every role he plays, making him one of the most in-demand Chris’ currently working in the industry.
Leo: Chris Hemsworth
People who are born under this sign are natural-born leaders. They are creative and confident and love to dive into anything dramatic, which makes them great actors. One of the greatest actors named Chris currently working is Chris Hemsworth.
Hemsworth has taken on a lot of different roles in recent years and executes each perfectly because he is innately talented and was born with a passion for this kind of work.
Virgo: Chris Pine
The Virgo sign is a more practical sign. They are thinkers and they work hard, but they also keep to themselves unless they have something important to say.
Chris Pine, born on August 26th, is definitely a Virgo. His presence is always noticed and he is very well-respected in the entertainment industry. Chris also seems to be attracted to more serious roles with a lot of layers, which probably feeds his analytical Virgo energy.
Libra: Christopher Reeve
Libras are known to bring harmony wherever they go. They are great connectors because they are not only very social, but they believe in fairness and operate from a very gracious place.
The late Christopher Reeve, born on September 25th, was a Libra and it showed, not only in his work, but in how he carried himself through all the twists and turns life had to offer. Christopher Reeve was the perfect person to play Superman because he had superhuman qualities that shined through everything he did.
Scorpio: Christopher Lloyd
The Scorpio sign is one of the most passionate signs in the zodiac. Scorpios dive headfirst into whatever they’re doing and they do it well because they are widely resourceful and smart.
Christopher Lloyd, born on October 22nd, is clearly a Scorpio (though he is on the cusp of Scorpio and Libra), not only for his tenacity and energy but because of his ability to express emotion at the drop of a hat. This actor can make us laugh just as hard as he can make us a cry, and that’s a rare gift for any storyteller to have.
Sagittarius: Christopher Plummer
People born under the Sagittarius sign are very curious and carry a thirst for knowledge of the world around them. This sign won’t be satisfied until they’ve learned all they can about life.
This kind of curiosity makes for a great actor, like Christopher Plummer, born on December 13th. Christopher Plummer’s career spans six decades, beginning in 1958 with his role in Stage Struck, and then most recently playing the patriarch of the Thrombey family in Knives Out.
Capricorn: Chris Carmack
The Capricorn sign is a very independent sign. People born under this sign with that kind of independence find success both in their personal and professional lives comes naturally because they are so self-reliant and tenacious in all of their pursuits.
They are also very classic in the way they present themselves, like Grey’s Anatomy actor, Chris Carmack, who has all the makings of Hollywood’s cliche Prince Charming appearance and stature.
