Your Character (RCD)
Although he appears in your daydream of a red carpet premiere and you notice him and Thomas Hunt at John Castle’s mansion, you do not formally meet him until Book 2. You are co-stars in Hunt's movie The Last Duchess. At the wrap party for the movie, if you give him the credit for helping make the movie, he graciously says it was you and the sweetness bounces back and forth until Holly ends the speech.

Thomas Hunt
Chris and Thomas have worked well together in the past. In Book 1, Chapter 1, they have a bet going on and ask Matt to help them settle it. He stars in Hunt's movie The Last Duchess. Chris tells you that he noticed that Hunts asks for coffee whenever things go well. When Chris has problems with a romantic scene, Thomas guides him through it.

Josh Morello
Josh Morello is one of Chris's friends. They starred in a movie together called, Think Again, Buddy. Marco Di Vincenzo photographed them for a magazine cover for the movie. Chris agrees with Josh that the latter's GIF game can get "weird" and advises everyone not to put the word "avocado" in any texts with Josh.

Your Character (Hot Couture)
In Hot Couture, Chapter 6, if Your Character (Hot Couture) and Luz Estrada decide to visit the VIP room with Marco Di Vincenzo, Travis McKenzie, Chris and Josh, Your Character (Hot Couture) can ask Chris for professional advice. He says that in the times where Your Character (Hot Couture) feels out of control, it's important to remember what's really important. For him, it's his family, who are his 'real world' and his support network.

He also tells you to have patience because things don't happen overnight. If this is the career you really want, you should be prepared for the long haul.
