“I’m really grateful it’s ‘The Last Days of Disco,” Chris Eigeman says. “Not the Middle Days of Disco or the Early Days of Disco - - then I’d had to have worn an awkward haircut and terrible clothes. To our eyes styles began looking much better in the early 80’s.”
Des McGrath is the club’s underboss who brought in the vodka-tonic crowd in but, now that the club’s successful, he might be on the way out. He dropped out of Harvard after a failed romance, getting in the nightclub business early - - to which he owes his “success today.”
Charlotte sees through his “whole pathetic act…pretending to be gay to get sympathy from women while cruelly dumping them - - and to seem cooler than you actually are.”
Chris made his film debut playing the funny snob “Nick” in METROPOLITAN, cast like almost everyone else in the movie out of an open call. He followed up as the U.S Sixth Fleet’s advance man, “Fred,” in BARCELONA.
To a remarkable degree the directors who work with Chris end up casting him in everything they do. THE LAST DAYS OF DISCO is actually the fourth project he and Stillman have done together. When Whit directed “The Heart of Saturday Night,” an episode of the HOMICIDE television series, he called on Chris to humanize the stock bad-guy yuppie part.
Director Noah Baumbach has cast Chris in three films: KICKING AND SCREAMING, this summer’s MR. JEALOUSLY, and HIGHBALL. On the West Coast he is recognized for a series of commercials he did as the comic “spokesman” for the telephone company, Pacific Bell.
Chris grew up in Denver and got into acting seriously at Putney, the Hampshire of boarding schools, and then Kenyon College. After METROPOLITAN he did a stint at the prestigious Actor’s Theatre Company of Louisville, Kentucky.
He lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Linda, who is part of the news operation at CNN in New York.
