Chris Lemmon is the son of actors Jack Lemmon and Cynthia Stone. Slightly handsomer than his dad, but possessed of the same distinctive high-pitched laugh, Lemmon began his own film career in 1976. The bulk of his film work has been in comedies, ranging from the witty Seems Like Old Times (1979) to the half-witty The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood (1980).
Chris Lemmon has been most active on series television: he went the raunchy-teen route as Checko on the frathouse sitcom Brothers and Sister (1979), was featured as Jeff Cameron on Knot's Landing, posed as a roving reporter on the daytime game show Fantasy (1982), played neurotic yuppie Richard Phillips on Fox's Duet (1987) and its spin-off Open House (1989), and co-starred with Hulk Hogan on the syndicated Thunder in Paradise (1994). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide.
