Chase's journey as a corporate professional, spanning over six years across New York, Dallas, San Francisco, and Chicago, eventually led him to a profound realization: there existed a life beyond the confines of high-tech companies and startup businesses. This epiphany was not unlike that of many others who flock to Hollywood daily, their eyes aglow with the promise of stardom. A native of Los Angeles, Chase's desire to become a professional actor was a dream he had long nurtured.
Leaving behind the financial security of his corporate career, Chase knew he would need to make significant sacrifices, including potentially waiting tables to make ends meet. Yet, he was resolute in his conviction that the ultimate reward would far outweigh the challenges he would face. Seeking a period of introspection, Chase embarked on a solo journey to Barcelona, Spain, before returning to Los Angeles to pursue his passion for acting full-time.
Born in Los Angeles, Chase's upbringing was marked by a sense of global citizenship, as he was raised in various parts of the world, including South Korea, Panama, and Peru. In 1997, he graduated from the University of California, San Diego, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History and Political Science. When not treading the boards, Chase is a die-hard fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
