Gina Ciaccio: Actress, Kansas City

•          “…When I arrived in SC to begin pre-production, Christopher was there to help in any way he could, and I quickly learned to depend on him and value his professional opinions. Very much a team player, Christopher was always punctual and well organized, while his easygoing demeanor and people skills made him extremely enjoyable to be around. During auditions, Christopher was able to draw on his own vast acting and directing experience, eliciting (sometimes surprisingly) inspired performances from the candidates. He handled the actors with professionalism, but also with a mix of sensitivity and humor – a very difficult job given the delicate nature of the subject matter. If I was asked to describe Christopher with just a few carefully chosen words, I would say that he is creative, knowledgeable, professional, passionate, thoughtful, consistent, dedicated, enthusiastic, cheerful, and certainly a pleasure to work with."

THE MANY FACES OF SEXUAL ASSAULT

• "From the first phone call, I knew that Christopher was not only someone I could trust but that he was unequalled as far as ability, qualifications, and sincerity. In all my years as an agent in the Talent Industry, I have never worked with a Casting Director that was so focused, genuinely concerned with my talent, and protective of all our interests. Christopher, in my professional opinion, is among the top 5% of Casting professionals in the country. We have profoundly blessed each other's lives."  

Beverly Brock: THE BROCK AGENCY

• "Angels come into our lives for many reasons. Christopher and his organization are 'winged blessings' and such a breath of fresh air in an intense and self-centered industry. Christopher selflessly works with each person individually focusing on their needs. When working with crew, he does what he can to assist them in making their job easier and more enjoyable. Administratively, Christopher is the most organized and efficient leader I have worked with in a long time. He definitely understands the meaning of getting the most for your money. There is an unexplainable comfort when working with Christopher, I guess I would call it security and trust."

A.D. Pugh: Front Office Manager and Administrative Specialist

CORAM Health Care

• Professional and enthusiastic, two words that describe Chris Cline. Chris has worked on a number of projects for Cherokee Historical and Preservation Society,Inc. Our annual Ghost Walk and History Tour was a great success due to the efforts of Chris. He wrote scripts for participants, provided costumes and made sure everyone had a great time. At Christmas Chris and his assistant Mike provided over the top decorations to make our entrance welcoming to the public. Chris's artistic eye was again called upon for our quilt show and luncheon. His eye for color, design and display of the quilts provided interest and enjoyment for those attending. Cherokee Historical and Preservation Society, Inc. looks forward to working with Chris on many projects in the future.

Jane Waters, President Cherokee Historical and Preservation Society, Inc.

• "Any time I have had the privilege to work with Christopher in any environment, be it personal, social, or professional, I have been met with energy and natural talent that is more than equal to the task at hand. Chris's energy and enthusiasm are focused on the end goal with insight and intuition that make the final product shine. He has a truly unique ability to adapt creative vision and knowledge of writing to the individual personalities of actors and combine them into an exceptional performance."

J. Lindi: Design Specialist and Craft Service Coordinator - Upton, MA 

• "There are only a few men that can do just about anything. Christopher Cline is one of them. I knew when I brought him home he was a creative spirit. More important than that, he is a blessing to me and my family, a good steward and protector since Harry died. I love and am proud of my son."

Olive T. Cline: Mother 1922-1999

•      Christopher Cline and  I have worked together on many projects over the last 5 years. The caliber of people and professionalism he brings with him to the job is outstanding. His job ethics are caring, creative, and all encompassing. I have always known him to come well prepared for anything that might happen. Every job ends unforgettably and the experience for the ones he is working with is always memorable. I plan and hope to work with him on many future projects. To recommend him for a job seems minimal. I would have to applaud him.

  Harriette Harvey: Cosmetology Educator, Manager, and Wardrobe Consultant

• I have come to know Christopher through the Cherokee Historical and Preservation Society, Inc.  Initially, Chris and his team volunteered to assist with what was basically a tour of homes we called a Ghost Walk.  His talent and experience, however, turned the simple walking tour into a full fledged production with actors and narrators recreating the stories of our city's past.  Now, nearly a year later, Chris has been asked to serve on our Board of Directors.  His passion and skill is a needed addition to our team and we are grateful to have him aboard.     

Billy Pennington: Associate Director
Cherokee County History and Arts Museum

• I worked with Christopher and chc associates on a two day Military shoot in Columbia, South Carolina. Chris was the Casting Director, Hair and Makeup Designer, Wardrobe Super, and On-set liaison between the Producers and talent. I have never seen anyone operate with such finesse and professionalism. I've never met such a talented, experienced, organized person who is that familiar with every facet of the industry. The finished project will blow you out of the water...it looks so professional and hollywood produced. It was more than a pleasure to work with Chris. His enthusiasm and personality kept everyone on set lighthearted and laughing through the endless hours it took to complete this project. It was the most fun I've ever had shooting. Thanks Chris, for everything!

• "We have been acting in regional theatre for almost 40 years and have never encountered a Producer/Director that can truly do it all. I met him and had the pleasure of teaching with him at an Education event and it is profoundly apparent that he is an Inspired Educator. In the theatre, from my audition to my closing night performance, Christopher was there for me, as he is for each individual in the cast, on the crew, and administratively. His wealth of experience is evident from the moment you meet him, and the process he takes with you is one of the most incredible rides you will ever experience. Grounded, focused, and positive (even in adversity), on stage with him he is one of the most consumate giving actors and in the house he gives the same as director...this man knows what he wants, where is going, and gets it done. I have never been in a "flop" because Christopher Cline doesn't produce sub-standard work. My husband and I have worked with Christopher on and off for over 15 years and we can't wait to work with him again, on or off stage." 

Eleanor (Ms. Darby)McClane: Retired Educator and Semi-Professional Actress and Coach

"Of all the motivational speakers and trainers I have seen and heard, Christopher Cline is carrying on and sharing the good news with a no holds barred approach. Not since Dr. Wayne Dyer, has another speaker touched and inspired me, motivated me to renew my committment to change. Thank you chc associates for providing these services and Christopher's story." 

K.D. (and Regina) Koresmon: CA and GA

• As an actor, I can't imagine a casting director who is more considerate and supportive than Christopher Cline.

  Christopher instills a confidence and a mutual respect that would be difficult for anyone else to duplicate. He always maintains a professionalism and strong work ethic, but without sacrificing his sense of humor or calm temperment. I hope to work with him time and again.

  Dan A. R. Kelly: Actor/Director/Educator,SC 

•      Right from the start, my experience with Christopher was absolutely exhilerating. During a film project, I soon found that he was a "Jack-of-all trades" as he pulled out his shears and began to crop my head to give it a militia-style look. Upon receiving information for a new casting, he acts precipitously and  professionally  in order to get the project off to a quick and inspiring start.  He teaches and draws out the inner character and personality of his talent in such a manner that it reflects his pure love for the talents of Acting and Filmmaking and is a true inspiration to all that come across his path. He is not one to sugar coat the truth as he tells it like it is, which is the only way we (as actors) are able to grow and learn. My experience with Chris was more than I could have ever expected to encounter and has taught me a lot about concentrating on delivering a strong, true-to-heart, and flawless performance; no matter if its for an auditon or a performance.

Patrick "Pat" Houser: Actor - NC

• "Thanks so much for your thoroughness and professionalism on the NASCAR-Prilosec shoot last week.  You were wonderful to work with as both the Casting Director and Hair/Make-Up Artist, and kept everything running smoothly as our liaison with the producer and photographer on the shoot.  I feel very fortunate for the opportunity to know you and work with you on this project."

• " ...'Many Faces...' is a dramatic, scenario based training film that portrays the subtleties of sexual assault and the resulting effects, physical and mental, on it's victims. As one might imagine, make-up and hairstyling requirements were exacting and often extreme. Drawing on his artistic skills, to create convincing characters, Christopher handled the actors, with a mix of professionalism, sensitivity, and humor - a very difficult job, given the delicate nature of the subject matter."

B. Igelman: Senior Producer - Crewestone Technologies

The Many Faces of Sexual Assault

• "The wardobe, wigs, and SFX make-up for this show (Into the Woods) is a beast, (no puns intended) and this production went above and beyond regional level. chc associates' (Christopher Cline's design work) stock is the absolute best I've seen for rental work on the East Coast, dare I say it was as good, if not better than some of the Broadway pieces used. Why ARE you and this work in South Carolina?"

• I am a Halloween fanatic and love to dress up each year.  This past Halloween I knew who would be doing my makeup and wardrobe - Christopher Cline !!   Judge for yourself, but I think he did a great job, (he transformed me).  Not only is Christopher a remarkable talent, but he is also a  loving, caring friend that anyone would be proud to have.  Thanks, Christopher, for being mine.
