Chris Isaak

Actor
70 years (Jun 26, 1956)Stockton, California, USA
Chris Isaak has been in the trade long enough to be called a veteran actor known to audiences from a long list of titles rather than from one. 'Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me' is the other credit most often cited. 26 credits across 38 years is a rate most careers never reach. For much of the audience, Chris Isaak is SWAT Commander from 'The Silence of the Lambs', whatever else the credits say.
