Chris Peduzzi as Doug Chris stumbled across his ability to sing by accident in college. Taking a music chorale class for fun, he was asked to stay after class one day by the conductor. Since the class was mostly voice majors, and Chris not being a voice major, he feared that the conductor was going to ask him to drop the class because he couldn’t sing. Just the opposite happened. The conductor told him that he had a wonderful instrument, but needed vocal lessons to hone his singing skills. After just one semester of voice lessons, Chris “found” his voice. When his parents came to see him perform in his first concert with the same chorale group, they were shocked to see his name listed in the program as a soloist. Chris had kept his newfound singing ability a secret. Not knowing about his ability to sing, they nervously waited for his solo. Upon performing his solo work, his parents were completely surprised and have been two of his most avid supporters ever since. Working as a Director of Technology for an Irvine-based mortgage company in his day job, Chris performs in his spare time whenever and wherever he can, appearing in theaters in both Orange County and LA County.
