Chris Bashinelli

摘要

Like many children of television, Chris Bashinelli grew up watching those commercials of malnourished kids in Africa who needed help. But unlike many, Bashinelli actually did help, and came to regard TV as the powerful means to do so. He created the series Bridge the Gap, seen on National Geographic Channel, PBS and the web, in which he travels to lands far (Mongolia, Uganda) and near (the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota) to forge connections between cultures.The onetime actor (The Sopranos) does this with a mix of humor, charm and understanding-and will soon be doing so in short-form videos as well.
