Christopher Francis Villiers (born 7 September 1960) is an English actor, screenwriter and producer.
Villiers was born in London, the son of Wing commander David Hugh Villiers (1921–1962) by his second wife, Elizabeth Barbara (née Hobbins). He is a descendant of the Right Reverend Henry Montagu Villiers, Bishop of Durham from 1860-61, brother of George Villiers, 4th Earl of Clarendon, and Charles Pelham Villiers. He is the brother of Cat Villiers, a film producer, and Jay Villiers, also an actor. He was educated at Stowe School.
Villiers may be best known for his former role on Emmerdale, in which he played Grayson Sinclair. He played Captain Nigel Croker in Mile High (2004-05) and appeared in such films as The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982), Top Secret! (1984), A Hazard of Hearts (1987) and First Knight (1995). In 2003 he co-wrote (with actor/playwright/producer Richard Everett) and co-produced (again, with Everett) the critically well-received British feature film, Two Men Went to War (2002). He also continued to appear in films such as Sliding Doors (1998), Bloody Sunday (2002), Kidulthood (2006) and Land Gold Women (2011).
In 1983, he starred in Sweet Sixteen with Penelope Keith. In 1996 he had a significant role in Sharpe's Siege. He has also appeared in an episode of Adventure Inc. when filming transferred to the UK for four episodes.
