Career


He has been on television since 1997, when he first appeared in the television series Riverdale as the character Jimmy.

His performances include appearing as Doug in the CBC Television hockey comedy series The Tournament, as well as CSA Agent Joel in the 2002 Jackie Chan movie The Tuxedo.[2] Most of Potenza's best-known roles are in television commercials, including a giant yellow toothbrush in the "evil gingivitis" commercials for Listerine, a dog in the Fido commercials "The Office" and "The Promotion", as well as a sunflower in Canadian Kia ads. He performed the voice for Jude Lizowski on 6teen; another notable cartoon character is Trevor Troublemeyer on the show Sidekick. He also guest starred in the show Grojband as Party Danimal and performed the voice for Chris McLean in the Total Drama series.

He also appeared in an episode of Colin and Justin's Home Heist in 2007, in which the suburban Oakville home he shares with his daughter Teagan was remodelled.[3]

Potenza also portrays Ryan Archer in the web series But I'm Chris Jericho!.

His YouTube channel, The Infinity Forge (originally called "SwitchBoardNetwork"), largely features videos of his experiences as a voice actor for Teletoon, and has gathered a respectable fan following. He has also guest-starred on various independent animated series on YouTube, including Joey Turner's "Tomy Thomas and Friends" as a spoof of Chris McLean called Chris McTrain.

He also starred in the YouTube show, Inanimate Insanity as MePhone4 in Episode 1 and in the upcoming interactive video Reddit series Total Drama Hour with Christian Potenza. He co-created the series with Charlie Saylor.

Potenza is currently a professor for the Acting for Film and Television program at Niagara College. [4]
