Chad Michael Collins’ career and work ethic can be defined in two words: action packed. Chad is most recognized for his starring role as ‘Gunnery Sgt. Branden Beckett’ in Sony’s guerilla warfare film franchise “Sniper.” The series is set to film it’s fifth installment this Fall 2019. Additionally, Chad will star as one of the lead characters, ‘Alex,’ in Activision’s newest installment of their hugely popular military first-person-shooter franchise “Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare.” Releasing October 25th, the highly anticipated video game will be available to play on all major consoles and PC. Fans and gamers alike have been waiting for the next installment of Activision’s best-selling series for eight years. The new game will feature familiar characters from the original trilogy that sold over 100-million combined units worldwide, but gamers will also be able to play as Chad’s character ‘Alex’ throughout the entire single-player storyline. In order to create Activision’s most realistic and cinematic video game to date, Chad was filmed as ‘Alex’ in a full face-motion-performance capture and then voiced the character. He also trained with former Navy Seals to prepare for the high-resolution fighting scenes and mission segues featured within the game. Outside of the two major military-based franchises, Chad may also look familiar from his many successful sci-fi and thriller TV spots over the years. Recently, Chad has held recurring sci-fi roles on both Hulu’s series “Freakish” (alongside Liza Koshy) and BYU TV’s series “Extinct.” He has additionally made appearances in popular TV shows including: “Once Upon A Time” (playing Frankenstein’s Monster/Gerhart), “Two Broke Girls,” “MacGyver,” “CSI: Miami,” “CSI: New York,” “NCIS,” “90210,” “Blue Bloods,” “Castle,” “Bones” and more. His film credits include the action-horror-western “High Moon” (alongside Sean Patrick Flanery), as well as playing ‘Dr. Sloane’ in AMC Shudder Network’s “Creepshow” (tapping ‘The Walking Dead’ EP Greg Nicotero). While born and raised in upstate NY, Chad currently resides in LA. Outside of filming, Chad is a self-proclaimed weekend warrior. He loves to stay in shape by playing on his league basketball team and boxing. He is an avid reader of comic books, the fantasy genre, and loves to get lost in with Bernard Cornwell’s collection of historical fiction. Chad also enjoys getting his game on with World of Warcraft, Dungeons & Dragons, retro 8-and-16-bit throwbacks, and Magic: The Gathering. #Celebrity #Discussion #Interview Make sure to subscribe to AfterBuzz! – http://youtube.com/afterbuzztv
