Model Monday: Chris Salvatore


Chris Salvatore (born May 22, 1985) is an American actor, singer-songwriter, model, and gay-rights activist. He is currently sitting at #41 on AfterElton's top 50 gay celebrities. Salvatore's love of singing and acting has always been strong. Even as he grew up in the small town of Richboro, Pennsylvania, 12-year-old Chris spent his days singing, acting, and even forcing his parents to watch the silly performances he and his sister put on in their home. By the time he was 15, young Chris had already written his first song. After completion of his high school education, Salvatore began his career in 2005 during his attendance at Berklee College of Music - Boston, MA. There, he studied vocal performance and soon began recording songs. As of today, his songs have been featured on MTV's show Paris Hilton's My New BFF and in the movie credits of Eating Out 3: All You Can Eat. Chris Salvatore is most well known musically for his single, "Dirty Love" (released in 2010). After some time at Berkley, Salvatore decided to move to New York, NY in 2006 to try his hand at acting. Once there, Chris enrolled in The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts and realized his talent and love for film. Once Salvatore had completed his schooling and begun preparing for the big leagues in Los Angeles, CA, he was contacted by a casting director for Q. Allan Brocka's latest movie at the time: Eating Out 3: All You Can Eat. Within just one week, Salvatore landed the role as "Zack" in the series and moved to California. The series was later extended to include two others. More recently, Chris Salvatore has been uploading short musical covers of songs he and his fans like to his YouTube channel. (Which currently has over 7,000 subscribers) In addition to song covers, Chris spends his time evangelizing equality in the LGBT community. Some of his videos include messages for the It Gets Better Campaign while others are simply kind and uplifting messages of hope.
