Career

Northrop participated in a summer acting conservatory program at the T. Schreiber Studio. In 2007, he played a "blonde male modie" in the Ugly Betty episode "Things Fall Apart" and a bar patron in the music video for Kelly Willis' single "Teddy Boys". He guest-starred in Law & Order: SVU in the episode "Wildlife".

In 2010, Northrop was set to play an albino henchman named Bachmeyer in Max Payne 3. Following the completion of facial motion capture, the project was delayed, the producer and key members of his team left production. Northrop remained with the game and participated in motion capture rehearsals, but the new director and team replaced Northrop's character with a corrupt Brazilian police officer and recast him as a result.

Northrop made his feature film debut as the character Death Metal Kid in Camp Hell. On March 16, 2012, Chris Northrop appeared in the segment "Man With Albinism Under Attack" on Primetime: What Would You Do?. It dealt with albino discrimination with Northrop acting out scenarios that included bullying. He also did an interview news correspondent John Quiñones about albinism.

In 2014, Northrop played a pizza delivery guy for an episode of The Mysteries of Laura. The following year, he worked on Broad City and High Maintenance and appeared in a lead role for dance rock band Echo Black's music video for "Burn Another Day". He played a zombie breaking a taxi cab window for an AT&T commercial. For the advertisement, it took four hours to apply his make-up and he performed his own stunts. In 2016, Northrop portrayed a stoner in Baked in Brooklyn, alongside Alexandra Daddario and Josh Brenner, and played an Arkham Asylum inmate on Gotham. Between 2016 and 2018, Northrop appeared in a recurring role on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt as Meth-Head Charlie.
