Christopher Lee-Power: A story of resilience, inspiration, and triumph
Christopher Lee-Power is a professional actor with an impressive career across the BBC, ITV, Amazon Prime, and Channel 4. Recently seen as Dr. Langford in The Hunt For Michael Myers, he is set to return in The Death of Michael Myers.
His theatre credits include Under the Mersey Moon, On the Banks of the Royal Blue Mersey, Macbeth, A Midsummer Nightâs Dream, and A Winterâs Tale. He is also a mentor for aspiring actors, helping them to build their confidence and refine their craft.
Christopherâs life is a testament to resilience. From overcoming childhood speech difficulties, coordination challenges, hyperactivity, and profound personal loss â including the tragic deaths of his father and sister â his path has been anything but ordinary. As a child he was placed in a restraint jacket, an experience that shaped his deep mistrust of authority; he also battled addictions to alcohol, gambling, and solvents; and survived a devastating New Ferry explosion.
