Early Life and Education

Chris grew up alongside his younger brother Matt, who also pursued a career in the entertainment industry as a director, writer, and actor. His upbringing in a creative environment undoubtedly influenced his future path in the entertainment world.

D’Elia attended La Cañada High School in California, where he graduated in 1998.

He eventually turned his attention to stand-up comedy, a decision to set the stage for his later success.

Though D’Elia faced controversy in recent years (discussed below), his personal life has remained a subject of interest among his fans.

Career

D’Elia’s career began with small roles on television, with early appearances in shows like Boston Legal and Monk. However, his role in NBC’s Whitney brought him significant recognition.

From 2011 to 2013, he played Alex Miller, the supportive and humorous boyfriend of the lead character, Whitney Cummings. His sharp delivery and comedic timing made him a standout on the show.

D’Elia’s next major role came in the series Undateable (2014-2016), where he played Danny Burton, a confident bachelor navigating dating life with a group of misfit friends. The show’s live episode format and comedic tone earned it a dedicated fanbase.

Apart from television, D’Elia has built a successful career as a stand-up comedian. He released several comedy specials, including Incorrigible (2015), Man on Fire (2017), and No Pain (2020). His observational humour and laid-back style resonated with audiences, further expanding his reach.

In addition to stand-up, D’Elia launched his podcast, Congratulations with Chris D’Elia, in 2017. The podcast became a hit, showcasing his comedic rants and fan interactions.

His role in Netflix’s You in 2019 garnered significant attention but opened the door to controversy, as art seemingly imitated life (as detailed in the Controversy section below).

Net Worth  

Chris D’Elia’s net worth is estimated to be around $10 million. He has accumulated wealth through his successful television, film, stand-up comedy, and podcasting careers.

Controversy

Chris D’Elia’s career took a significant hit in 2020 when he was accused of sexual misconduct by several women. The controversy began when a woman shared screenshots of conversations with D’Elia, alleging inappropriate behaviour when she was a minor.

This was followed by more women coming forward, accusing him of soliciting nude photos from underage girls and engaging in predatory behaviour. D’Elia denied the allegations, stating that his relationships were legal and consensual.

However, the damage to his career was swift. His role in the Army of the Dead film was recast, and episodes of his stand-up specials were removed from streaming services like Comedy Central.

In a video released in early 2021, D’Elia addressed the allegations, admitting to infidelity but maintaining that he had never knowingly pursued minors.

Despite his attempt at damage control, the scandal continues to impact his career, with a notable decrease in public appearances and projects.
