Christopher Powell, also known as Comedian CP, is an American actor, writer, and comedian. He's known for his roles in Detroiters (2017), Empire (2015), and Ole Bud's ANU Football Weekly (2018). He's also appeared on All Def Comedy and season two of HBO Max's Love Life. Powell credits his parents' trust in him for helping him navigate the entertainment industry. He found Empire frustrating because he wasn't allowed to be the comic relief.
