Chip Carriere

Chip Carriere is an actor and Louisiana-native based out of the artistically-diverse New Orleans area. From Chip's early youth and throughout his life, his interests have always been diverse from spending countless hours adventuring through the Louisiana marshlands to immersing himself in theater and various vocal groups. Chip's unwavering passion for the realm of entertainment evolved rapidly. While maintaining his love of acting, Chip attended and graduated from the Acadiana Law Enforcement Training Academy, after which he worked as an officer to support himself through college at University of Louisiana- Lafayette.

It was in 2011, as the film and television industry began to bloom in Louisiana's market, that his drive for a creative career took full focus. Chip committed himself to these opportunities and within several months' time, he became a SAG-AFTRA member with his very first role in the USA network/CBS series, Common Law (2012). Recent work includes Beast Beast (2020) (Sundance 2020, SXSW 2020), Trial by Fire (2018), In Broad Daylight (2019) and upcoming 2020 releases, Emperor (2020), Walkaway Joe (2020), Embattled (2020), Greenland (2020) as well as others. Chip recently wrapped on Your Honor (2020), filmed in New Orleans and starring Bryan Cranston.

Always honing his craft, Chip studied at The Second City (Chicago), with Tim Phillips, Teresa Bell, James Dumont as well as others. When not focused on his craft, Chip keeps himself busy helping his fellow actors. Whether it is with audition preparation, taping and editing video auditions, or freely sharing his knowledge and experiences, he is always quick to lend assistance, stating "It is during the times of helping others that I grow the most as a person and an actor."

Referred to by Sam Christensen as "the delicate flower that blooms in the crack of an old brick wall, Chip may come across as that "tough guy" at first impression; however, it does not take one long to see his compassionate, sincere, and generous nature."

Chip is represented by Presley Talent (New Mexico), Houghton Talent (Southeast market) and Louisiana Talent (southern Southeast market).
