| Called a "corkscrew-twist drama of suspense" by Ben Brantley of the New York Times, Mauritius is the tale of two half sisters, between whom little love is lost, as they vie for the right to own a family stamp album potentially worth millions. Along the way, the bickering sibs become caught up in the machinations of a trio of con artists, each intent on grabbing the prize for himself. Among them, is sexy motor-mouthed thug, Dennis, a charming rogue with a trick or two up his sleeve in pursuit of the big score--whether it be love or money--a role perfectly suited to McKenna's engaging talents. Chris McKenna began his acting career at age seven when he was cast as Dopey in a community theatre production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. McKenna made the transition to TV and film at age 11 and has since worked consistently including an award-winning three-year stint on One Life to Live and appearances on The Practice, That 70's Show, The District, That's Life and Touched By An Angel. He was a series regular on WB's Opposite Sex and has been featured in many films including In & Out, King of the Ants, and Art School Confidential. Chris has also appeared in over 40 stage productions, most recently in the role of Jerry Przpezniak at the Laguna Playhouse production of Don't Talk To The Actors. |
