Chris Winters is a TV-Film guy/techno-jock who makes the A-list for Borders True Romance, Reader’s Entertainment Group, and Between Your Sheets. Born in Virginia and currently living in LA, this 2008 Mr. Romance can be seen in TV and movie cameos, biking or running around the city, appearing at events, or sometimes on various websites.
What do romance readers want to know about Chris?
Has being Mr. Romance helped you in achieving any of your Hollywood goals?
I think anything you do adds a step to achieving any kind of goals in life. I have had, very interestingly, someone mention it on a red carpet event before. I started recently using it more to bring the awareness.
Has being a cover model added romance to your relationships or has it actually been a detriment?
Well, I do not think being a cover model of anything will add or take away romance from an individual because a person should love someone for who they are inside. I know me just being me adds a lot to romance, or anything else for that matter. Romance is defined on respect, communication, and love for the other person.
Where do you hope to be in your career in the next two years?
Well, I do have a few people pushing me that are successful working actors, so I will be having a great year in the middle or end of 2010. I remember in 2005 a lot of things happened within that year and it was the same time. I’ve done a lot in Hollywood since my arrival two years ago. I have to thank my fans for that as well for keeping up with me.
If you could go back in history and become anyone he wanted, who would that be?
That’s a really tough question. I would imagine the person I could possibly be would be Abraham Lincoln. He has his own personal issues along with doing something really great in his life. One true hero.
If you could choose to be any character in a book for a film, which character would it be?
This is another tough question. Off the bat, I would imagine Darth Vader from the Star Wars movies. I always loved that character!
What Chris wants you to know about him?
I can honestly say I do love life. I thank God everyday for another chance to breathe again. I am the type of guy who you will meet and walk away smiling, knowing that I am down-to-earth.
I am a free spirited individual who believes in living life to the fullest and laughter is the start of everything. I enjoy many things in life. This ranges from eating, running in parks, solving challenging problems, to spending some time with someone. They say life is too short, but I always ask: “What else is longer?” Life shouldn’t be measured in time, but the time you enjoy with it.
Here are the following fun filled facts:
I am very goal oriented and determined but I have a weakness for chocolate and other sugary things.
I like a stimulating conversation, this can range from fractual functions to macrophages; or the uvula!
I love Xbox 360. I only like a few select games that have a storyline.
I like parks– especially Pan Pacific in Los Angeles, next to The Grove (it was featured on Miracle Mile and actor Brian Thompson was on it. I worked with him. The park is pretty cool at night, while running).
I like Peanut butter, and most common things everybody else likes. Ladybugs come to mind.
I DO NOT fold clean laundry. Hate it. I use it for my ultimate Hamster Nest. My Hamster Nest is when you sleep on various clothing articles.
I like snakes, snails, spiders, and scary movies. Yeah, I am NOT AFRAID to get my hands dirty, muddy, or tear up my shoes! I will also rub your feet.
I like various music. However, I really like Indie music that no one else listens to.
I really, super love, swing sets! If you want to feel young again, that is the place.
Midnight blue or blue that resembles late, starry night. Romantic and euphoric.
So let’s give a shout out for this talented, humorous guy who is determined to make it to the top and to take all of his friends with him because success for Chris is all about the heart. Hear him on the March 9th on Canned Laughter and Coffee with Renee Bernard and learn why this is a swinging Mr. Romance, http://www.blogtalkradio.com/circle-of-seven/2010/03/10/canned-laughter-and-coffee.

Great questions and neat answers, Chris! I remember meeting a cover model at RT one year. He was kind of wary at first, but we struck up a great convo on family at lunch.
Authors are seen by some as ten fingers typing, but we have lives, families, favorite reads just like the next person. LOL And True Romance helps reveal the women/men behind the typing fingers.
I’m sure cover models find themselves in a similar box (though of different dimensions) with some people. It’s so easy to only look at the surface and forget the person behind. However, you’ve done an excellent job of reminding us that behind the beautiful face (and yes, I firmly believe men can be beautiful - though it’s usually their character glowing outward) is a man of depth who enjoys discussing macrophages. Seriously? White blood cells, cool but not your usual topic of conversation for *anyone* outside science, medicine and academia.
If you have time for one more question…are you more interested in doing movies or television?

@Lucy Monroe
Hello there! Yes, I am interested in doing TV/FIlm. I actually have done it and doing it now. Here’s my IMDB link:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1952233/
Also, there are some videos on my myspace page: myspace.com/chriswinters. If you go there you can see things like a few music videos and other stuff. TV film is a fun experience!
@ Sue, what got me interested in modeling? I would say confidence and determination. It changed my life actually. I had a friend who said I should try it. Although I thought she was crazy I tried it. It took a lot of work later on but I did it. I think modeling also helps build confidence, -and- trains you on rejection
Thanks for all your queries!
much love and happiness!

I had the opportunity to meet with Chris at the RT Book Fair in Orlando last year. He was just standing around when I recognized him and went up to say “hello.” We mostly discussed the Book Fair and living in L.A., where he is now and where I lived for 15 years. He is very nice and very attractive and I wish him all the best.

Hey Chris - thanks for being here! What got you interested in modeling in the first place? & how did you decide on getting involved in photography for book covers?
Much success to U!
