Chris Carmack was born in Washington, D.C. and grew up in a family of five with a younger sister and older brother in suburban Rockville, Maryland, where he loved playing all types of sports: baseball, basketball, football and wrestling. At Magruder high school, however, his attentions turned to theatre and he began working passionately on three productions a year, on-stage and off, in addition to competing in numerous drama festivals. After high school, Chris went to New York University to pursue a degree in Arts in the Tisch School. While Chris was being located in New York for school, he was discovered by a modeling scout. For a struggling college student at the time, Chris gave modeling a try. His drop-dead gorgeous looks are exactly what Bruce Weber was looking for at Abercrombie & Fitch. In the following year, Chris scored big again by appearing on the Spring 2000 Guess campaign. The other catalogues and editorials that Chris has appeared in include Lord and Taylor, Macy's, Target, Who A U, ELLE France and Cosmo Girl. After two years in New York Chris decided to move to Los Angelos and try some acting. While in Los Angelos Chris took some private acting lessons and went out on some 50 commercials before he landed his first commercial the KIA spot. Carmack is also a devoted jazz and blues musician, playing both the saxophone and guitar.
