Testimonials
"Chris Fields will get you out of your head. His knowledge, commitment to his students, and enthusiasm make the Chris Fields Acting Studio a place for actors to play, and remember why they started acting in the first place." - David Giuntoli, Grimm
"When I have off between jobs I love taking scene study class with Chris Fields. He provides a safe environment to continue working on and experimenting with my craft while being guided by a teacher that understands that truth is the core of acting." - Peter Facinelli, Twiglight Saga
"I have worked with Chris every opportunity available to me for the last eight years. I love the way he works with his actors, his insights into the characters and material and what the actor does with them and most of all the care and interest he shows for his students. He helped me tremendously and I am extremely grateful for all the time and effort he gave me and everyone else in class." - Mitch Pileggi, Supernatural/Gray's Anatomy/Sons of Anarchy/ X-Files
"In my humble opinion, what our art form (acting) lacks, is a degree of individual integrity that keeps the artist pursuing a mastery of their craft and to better themselves as human beings; there seems to be little interest in creating something beautiful, for it's own sake. Chris Fields has great integrity. He is an artist. He believes in the actor, the theater, and the human spirit. He is father, actor, director, teacher, and artistic director; all done with care and such compassion, you can actually see him bleed. Chris has directed me twice, and on both occasions he has guided me with tender and empowering hands, communicating his vision clearly and without hitting me over the head with lofty directions, we created something simple and true, both times. As a teacher, he'll not only give you the tools to apply in all your professional work, but he'll remind you of how special you are for what you do, and the great responsibility you have as an actor. He really is one of those people who want to create something beautiful for it's own sake." - Enrico Colantoni, Flashpoint/Veronica Mars/Just Shoot Me
