Chris Baldyga

Chris Baldyga (born Christopher Joseph Baldyga on December 3rd 1977) grew up in Fairfield, CT. Growing up, Chris wanted to be a professional wrestler and be on the radio. After graduating high school, Chris briefly went to college for mass communications before deciding to drop out and work full time. Shortly after, he discovered a professional wrestling school near his hometown and decided to sign up. It was there he developed a wrestling persona known as The Iron Eagle. The premise of the character was based off his last name sounding like bald eagle and the 80's movie Iron Eagle. The Iron Eagle's wrestling attire consisted of a flight suit, aviator glasses, and a world war like leather hat with his wrestling gear underneath. During his 12 year career as an independent professional wrestler, Chris decided to attend the CT School of Broadcasting where he learned about radio broadcasting. For 3 years, following graduation, he was a radio personality for a soft and contemporary radio station and a Board Operator for a rock station while also working for a local gym and wrestling on the independent circuit. In 2011, he was approached by a film producer about doing a documentary on his wrestling career. The short documentary was called Wrestling Dreams. In the documentary, Chris detailed his journey in professional wrestling along with his personal approach to his craft. Around this time, he befriended a young fan named Joey Ambrosini. Shortly after retiring from professional wrestling, Joey (now an actor) would ask Chris to be part of a mini series where Chris played a Major League Baseball Talent Scout. It was during this time, he discovered acting. Chris today has been part of projects ranging from, independent films to Lifetime and Hollywood movies.
