Biography by AllMovie

Toronto-born Chris Diamantopoulos began his professional acting career at a young age, appearing in TV commercials and professional theater productions when he was only 9 years old. Despite the early experience, Diamantopoulos studied his craft at East York Collegiate Institute before heading to New York to test his true star potential. He didn't begin appearing on American screens until the early 2000s, with small roles on shows like Law and Order and Charmed. He had a memorable turn as an effeminate decorator in the 2008 mini-series The Starter Wife, but his big break didn't come until 2012, when he was cast as Moe in the Farrelley Brothers comedy The Three Stooges.
