1. He Is From Canada
During his career, Chad has been a part of so many American productions that lots of people have probably assumed that he is originally from the United States. In reality, though, Chad was born and raised in Canada. He attended Picture Butte High School in Alberta. He is currently based in the Los Angeles area.
2. He Got Into Acting In Junior High School
Chad isn’t the kind of actor who discovered his passion for the craft when he was still in diapers, but he still developed an interest in acting fairly early. By the time he was in junior high school he knew that acting was the career path he wanted to pursue when he got older.
3. He Is All About Family
If you thought that acting was the most important thing in Chad’s life, you might want to think again. Chad is a devoted father and nothing means more to him than his young son. When Chad has time off from work, you can bet that he’s usually spending it with his family.
4. He Doesn’t Like Playing “Normal” Characters
Chad certainly isn’t the kind of actor that likes to play it safe with the characters he plays. He actually prefers to take on roles that are a little more complex. Chad told Our Culture Magazine, “I don’t like playing “normal” guys. It’s boring to me and not why I’m in acting. If the character has edge, a past or something about him that isn’t just one-dimensional then I’d definitely be interested in taking on the role. Good guy or bad guy.”
5. He Owns A Production Company
Chad isn’t just an actor, he is also an entrepreneur. He is the founder of a production company called CheckMate Films which has been around for 15 years. Unfortunately, however, the business website seems to be inactive so it’s unclear if the company is still in business.
6. He Loves Comic Books
Landing a role in the TV series The Flash was a great opportunity for Chad professionally, but it was also exciting on a personal level. He has been a fan of comic books for many years. That said, however, he wasn’t someone who really follow The Flash prior to being on the show.
