Life and career
Christopher Berger was born January 12, 1942 in,. Berger is the son of screenwriter and film and television director Keith Thomas Berger and the nephew of North-American Pictures and The Griffon Group co-founder Joseph C. Gabin. Berger started his career as a child actor, making appearances on Canadian television programs and as part of radio drama casts. Berger also made appearances in some of The Griffon Group's 1960s beach party movies, including Bahamas A-Go-Go.

In 1972, he relocated to the Vlokozu Union to participate in its growing film industry. In 1974, while in El Kadsre City, he decided to become a voice actor for El TV Kadsre Television Network projects due to his talent for theater and cabaret. He showed such a talent for the industry, that then-ETVKTN head Tara Matsushita left him in charge of the voice acting department on the first day.

Berger began rigorously casting actors and actresses for El TV Kadsre's projects. Anyone of any acting background, whether it be burlesque, vaudeville, high school drama, or college drama, was allowed to provide voices. Even so, he would hold auditions, making sure to hire the best people available, and trained them thoroughly before recording sessions.

Berger oversaw the dubbing of close to 100 El TV Kadsre film productions into Japanese, Vicnoran, Spanish, French and German.

In addition to his voice acting career, he has had extensive theatrical work, including playing the Cat in the Hat in Villamonte and productions of Seussical.
