Kris's most recent big-screen role was that of sex-starved Colin in the romantic comedy Love Actually.
A young up-and-coming British actor, Kris has also appeared in Iris, The Four Feathers, and The Most Fertile Man in Ireland.
"Nick is the closest character to myself I've played in the last couple of years," says Kris with a grin. This proclomation is slightly worrying when you consider that My Family's Nick is a man who wants to be a dotcom millionaire but doesn't know a mouse from a modem. And when he finally does work out how to use a computer he poses as a lesbian to pick up girls on the Internet.
Kris gives a wry smile. "The way I see it, Nick's really quite intelligent – perhaps too intelligent in a way, because it's the normal, common-sense things that seem to fox him. He must be quite bright because he's conned his parents into thinking that he needs a year off before he goes to university, supposedly to see the world. In reality, all he's managed to see is his couch. But there really are things about him that I can relate to."
Home for Kris is a house shared with "a bunch of genetic scientists in Slough," the town in which BBC America's deadpan comedy The Office was set. Despite the town's now famously drab reputation, he reckons that, "there's something really cool about Slough... we've got the Mars candy factory down the road, so you can smell different flavored Skittles every day."
