Chris Henze, Executive Producer

Chris Henze serves as partner of Thruline Entertainment and Tagline Pictures, both of which he co-founded.

Raised in San Diego, Henze studied liberal arts as well as television and film at the University of California, Irvine. He began his career at the William Morris Agency, in the motion picture literary and talent departments, before segueing into the management/production business in 1993.

In 2002, Henze co-founded the Beverly Hills management firm, Thruline Entertainment with friends and colleagues J.B. Roberts and Ron West, and the following year Tagline Pictures was formed to serve Thruline's production and development interests. The two entities now consist of more than two dozen employees and executives, and represent over 100 actors, writers and directors, with numerous television and film projects currently in development.

Earlier this year, Henze and his partners formed a new comedy division, which is specifically geared toward the management and development of stand-up comedians, as well as comedy performances and acts, including the exclusive representation of the Just For Laughs / Montreal Comedy Festival, the largest comedy festival in the world.

Henze resides in Los Angeles with his wife and two boys.
