Short Bio
Chris Dingli is a Maltese-born, UK-based actor and writer known for his warm presence, layered performances, and quiet complexity.
He works across stage, screen and voice, with a particular affinity for nuanced, understated roles and performances that leave space for ambiguity.
Trained at the Webber Douglas Academy, Chris has performed Shakespeare, directed and acted at the Edinburgh Festival, and written and starred in award-winning theatre and screen projects. His portrayal of Grand Master Jean de La Valette in his self-penned one-man show Battleship earned him the Best Actor Award at the Malta International Theatre Festival.
Alongside his dramatic work, Chris has an extensive background in comedy. He has written and performed sketch, solo and stand-up shows across the UK and Malta, and is also an experienced voiceover artist and radio presenter, voicing campaigns for major European and international brands.

Malta is one hour ahead, and as Chris is London-based, the interview took place over the phone early in the morning - which explains why he is in his pyjamas! 25 March 2025.
English/German// Chris recently met up with Jörg Seewald on the set of the the movie Vanitas, to talk about how music influences character. This episode of the popular "Measuring Music" podcast also includes an in-depth discussion with writer, producer and composer Robert Zimmermann (this part of the podcast is in German). Chris' interview (In English) starts at 36:40.
Maltese// Chris was interviewed by Colin Fitz on Campus 103 FM in Malta, about Chris' time hosting the station's first flagship Drivetime show in 2002, when the station was rebranded as Campus FM (from University Radio) with the intention of appealing to the university's student population (although the station broadcasts nationally).
Together with his co-host Wesley Ellul, Chris reminisces about the show, "Faculty of Fun" which was a first of its kind on the island - a primetime radio show hosted by two people and the only show of its time (or since) to host bands playing sets in the studio, live on air.
This interview aired in January 2025. You can listen to the entire interview here.
English// Chris was interviewed by Trudy Kerr from The Interviewer podcast to talk about how COVID has impacted the arts and entertainment industry.
"In this funny, honest and very touching podcast, Chris shares what the past year has meant for the arts in Malta, he explains the mental game of 'staying in the game', he shares precious stories of his hard wired memories of the Comedy Knights - as well as explaining how it all started and tells us what it is like to bomb on a stand-up stage, along with much more. Make time for this podcast. You will laugh, learn and maybe even cry."
