About Chris R. Wright: Currently featuring as a contestant on Channel 5's Big Brother and once described by Sky Movies as "Marvellously punchable", funnyman Chris R. Wright is a distinctive writer/performer notable for embracing off-beat character roles in films such as Faintheart, and the cult horror comedies Stalled, Freak Out and Small Town Folk (which he also co-wrote and produced). A graduate of America's oldest school of comedy improvisation, The Players Workshop (whose alumni includes Ghostbuster Bill Murray, Groundhog Day Director Harold Ramis, Cheers stars Shelley Long and George Wendt, Community's Danny Pudi and Golden Girl Betty White). Nicest guy in show-business Chris has appeared alongside an ever-growing list of noteworthy British actors, such as Eddie Marsan, Warwick Davis, Kevin Eldon, James Heathcote, Tamaryn Payne and Jessica Hynes. In addition to his work as an actor, Chris is a professional illustrator and performs stand-up comedy with his gloriously downtrodden character 'Pat Cancer', as well as putting his hand to writing and producing. He has been the face of campaigns for WKD, 20th Century Fox and MGM and recently completed work on two feature films: Gutpunch and K-Shop.

Wright). Always on the lookout for females to carry on the Beesley name, whether they're willing or not, the landlord keeps a watchful eye over all of his land and brutally dispatches any outsiders who dare set foot upon it. When three lost travellers stumble upon the landlord's property, the quiet beauty of the countryside suddenly erupts in a torrent of blood and violence in a menacing hunt and chase for his future bride! In his biggest screen role, Chris stars alongside Hollywood's smallest star, Warwick Davis (Willow, Return Of The Jedi, Harry Potter), and Howard Lew-Lewis (of Brush Strokes and Maid Marian & Her Merry Men fame) in this fantasy horror-comedy that's a twisted mix of The League Of Gentlemen and The Devil's Rejects. Multi-talented nice guy Chris not only stars in the film, he also wrote and produced it. STALLED Actors: Dan Palmer, Antonia Bernath, Tamaryn Payne, Chris R Wright Directors: Christian James Format: PAL Region: Region 2 Number of discs: 1 Classification: 18 Studio: Matchbox Films DVD Release Date: 24 Feb 2014 Run Time: 84 minutes ASIN: B00GGK7U5G It's Christmas Eve. A down-on-his-luck janitor is cleaning cubicles in an office block. Unfortunately for this forlorn floor-sweeper, he becomes trapped in the washroom the very second a zombie outbreak occurs. Will he be able to hit the emergency alarm with severed fingers and a catapult bra? Has he met his Waterloo? Will he just go potty? Or will he simply remain...Stalled? Consistently hilarious, brilliantly executed, cleverly constructed and visually imaginative, director Christian James' remarkable comedy horror is The Evil Dead meets Phone Booth in a toilet. In his most challenging role, Chris plays a security guard/brain-chomping zombie! Chris is present throughout both the gloriously gory and hilariously horrific film and throughout the special feature documentary, though don't expect much dialogue from him in the film beyond "Braaaainnnss!" FAINTHEART Set in the world of battle re-enactments, FAINTHEART is a comedy that charts the epic quest of Viking Warrior Readmund the Just, aka Richard the sales assistant (Eddie Marsan), as he attempts to win back the love of his long suffering wife Cath (Jessica Hynes). Tired of Richard's all-consuming obsession with his Iron-age alter ego, Cath kicks him out of their home and into the real world. His honour is put in further peril when Cath begins seeing Martin s PE teacher Gary (Paul Nicholls). Realising he must finally face up to the challenges of the present day and fatherly responsibility, Richard enlists the help of best friend and Trekkie , Julian (Ewen Bremner). Together with Julian and a merry band of assorted geeks known as the Bloody Broadswords , Richard must summon all of his Norse courage to discover the real warrior within. In his first major motion picture role, Chris plays Richard's hilariously inept bureaucratic ball-breaking boss, a supporting role present throughout the film.
