Chris Young plays is one of only two main people in the music video for his latest single “Losing Sleep” and he will star in a new YouTube docu-series. However, he says don’t expect to see him in any movie acting role in the future.
Chris not only sings the song in the music video, he plays one of two people that are set on a path of romance for the storyline. He does a really good job in his role in the music video, so you might think that could raise his interest in possibly acting in a movie someday.
“I guarantee you there’s a 95 percent probability that I never do a movie,” Chris states.
Notice there is a 5% chance that it could happen though. What would it take for that small percentage of a chance to happen? He says it could happen if, “t was just something that I really got into.” Why does he pretty much rule out the idea? “Because it’s just so time-consuming,” he explains.
Chris expands about his reason by sharing what it takes to make a music video, “It takes all day to film a three-minute music video, all day,” he shares, “And you need every shot.”
Why did he agree to play one of the leads in the music video? Chris says, “I really feel like with this treatment for ‘Losing Sleep’, there was such a vision with the actual treatment rundown, when I got the page that says okay this is what’s going to happen in the video, I just wanted to make sure it was right.”

In the new YouTube docu-series, Chris doesn’t act. He simply has a camera crew following him around while he writes, records and performs his songs.
The song is the tile track from Chris Young’s forthcoming new studio album that will drop October 20th. Listen for the song on B104.
