Chandler Vatavuk

Biography

Actor, lawyer, filmmaker, antiques & collectibles dealer, and volunteer, are many ways to describe Chandler, but remembering his born and bred North Carolina roots are just as important.  After acting in plays and on public access television shows in college, Chandler took a circuitous route back to acting nearly two decades later, with short stops making a horror movie and learning courtroom theatrics along the way.  For him, the best thing about acting is living a day in another person’s shoes, finding empathy through becoming that person, and learning a lot about himself in the process.
