About Chris

My name is Chris Corrigan, born and raised in Woodside, Queens. I am part Irish on my father's side and part german on my mother's side. My german side is responsible for my height of 6'2" or 6'3" which makes me the tallest in my family (that I live with), just a inch taller than my mom who is slightly over six feet. I have two older sisters, one goes to Queens College and the other, Hunter College. I also have a mentally handicapped younger brother who was born a few months early and almost completely deaf. In fact, my dad and I are the only one out of six of my family members who has good hearing, my sisters started to gradualy lose their hearing, one is much worse than the other. They all have their interests, as for me, I loved movies for a long as I can remember. I think I was five years old when I saw "Dumb and Dumber" in the movie theaters, it came out in 1994 so I think I was 5. I can't remember much at that time, but I do remember wanting to go to the video store all the time to rent it. After that, I would watch every movie with Jim Carrey that I knew about, including "Liar Liar", where he plays a lawyer who, because of his son's birthday wish, cannot lie for a whole day, and gets him comical trouble. It might be similar to his recent movie "Yes Man", where he cannot say "no", only he could if he wanted. Now that I'm older, I'm into more professionally made films such as "There Will Be Blood", which was nominated for Best Picture last year, but didn't win, to my disappointment.I also enjoy television, one of my favorite shows is the "The Simpsons" which I have been watching for very long time, mostly because it has been on television since I was a one year old. Another favorite show of mine is "Seinfeld", which many people will agree, is funny and popular even after ten years since it ended. I enjoy some other sitcom, plus cartoons, the good ones from the 90's and late night talk shows, but my favorite show of all time (and I thought about it carefully) is "Whose Line Is It Anyway", a show where four comedians/performers act out scenes based on audiences' suggestion and previously written situations, but no script.I, like everybody, likes music, but my collection mostly consists of very heavy rock. Mainstream listeners probably never heard of bands like "Soulfly" or "Machine Head", but I tend to find them somehow.I chose to attend LaGuardia because of the Media program that they had, which beleive can be useful for getting a career in film, where I'm very interested in. Also, I live two blocks off Queens Blvd. and only takes about twenty to twenty five minutes to walk, that way, I save four dollars. More importantly, I'd like a good career
