My Memory

Sue Monsey Sep 21, 2008

I have fond memories of Christopher. Both he and his brother Sean are (were) great actors and Christopher's talent was not to be taken lightly. Anyone (John Thomas) who would use a memorial page to say something cruel is obviously low in intelligence and suffers from extreme inadequecies.

Two thumbs up to the Sean brothers!!!

I recall him in Best of the Best, his part reminded me of how he was in real life; arrogant just like his idiot brother. I know Sean from Mystic River. I reme,ber Chrissie fought like a girl in the BotB movie. He was never quite the star his brother was; I guess he didn't suck as good as his brother or he would have got the better roles
