Christian Benjamin Seaborn
I began performing when I was eight years old, singing Hello, Dolly with Louis Armstrong in my hometown of Portland, Oregon. After building a career and resume for the next eleven years (as an actor, piano player and director) throughout the Pacific Northwest, at the age of 19 I made my first foray to Hollywood in 1976.
​
My debut on national television was with the now classic MTM (Mary Tyler Moore) Entertainment sitcom, RHODA (playing RHODA star Valarie Harper's high school prom date in a home movie sequence). This was followed up with guest star appearances on ALICE (Warner Brothers Studios - CBS Television Network); ANGIE(Paramount Studios - ABC Television Network); WKRP IN CINCINNATI (MTM Entertainment - CBS Television Network) where I played Elgar Neece, the diminutive but sharp as a dull tack lawyer for WKRP's General Manager, Arthur Carlson (played by the late, great comedic actor, Gordon Jump).
​
After a 19-year hiatus from Hollywood (working around the country as an actor, writer, graphics designer, producer, website designer), I returned to Hollywood in 2000 appearing on the series LAS VEGAS (Universal Studios - NBC Television Network); SUBWAY (Super Bowl Commercial); and as the lead comedic (Bellboy) character in a series of four national television commercials in London, England for London=based product, CHICAGO TOWN PIZZA.
