La Curiosa Conexion de Juanentonce y Krypton.

Christopher’s first day out on Hollywood Boulevard was 6/10/91 and there were no other characters at the time. He originally worked as a waiter at Hamburger Hamlet, and started to dress in character on his days off. He works 8-13 hours a day, seven days a week. His longest day was 7am-3am.

Sajen was born in Santa Monica and raised in Culver City. He has worked for Starline Tours for about a year.
BEST MOMENT IN LA: “When I was filming my movie that I was staring in, Getting It. I got hooked up with 3 girls, you know, cause I was in the movie when they saw me in front of the camera.”

UPCOMING: “Horror 88…I play a small role in it.”
THIS JOB HELPS AS AN ACTOR BECAUSE: “It allows me to chase my dream — balls to the wall. If I have an audition I can walk and go on it. At the same time, I’m constantly pitching on the boulevard. If they are a tourist, I sell them a tour. If they are local, I ask if they are in the industry. If they are, I give them a DVD and a flyer for the movie I star in.”
