Chris Potenza is often referred to as “that guy” because people remember his face but not necessarily his name. And he is seen everywhere. If he isn’t acting in a series, then he’s in a TV commercial that has everyone talking. For example, Potenza was the guy who says, “Let’s get naked” on the crowded subway in the Tostitos commercial. Or, he’s the hoarse-voiced golfer who yells, “Fore!” on the golf course in the spot for Halls lozenges. Christian graduated from George Brown Theatre School in 1997 and began working almost immediately.
