Christopher Hayes (Oscar Madison) has been most recently involved in the production of Papa at the Eureka Theatre in San Francisco, where he served as executive producer, an exciting and drastic change from the role of an actor.  He has also been seen recently at Sierra Repertory in Charley’s Aunt and in an east coast performance of Joe and Betty.  Some of his favorite roles include Jean Paul Sartre; Claudius; and Pompey in Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure, where in an L.A. performance he met his wife Anya, who is now expecting their first child.  You may also have caught Chris in some new UPN ads, old ABC spots, or voicing various Microsoft, Coca-Cola, and Home Depot products.  Chris’s favorite performing outlet is the Improv Revolution Allstars, an improvisational group that performs regionally, sometimes nationally, and almost always in San Francisco.
