Chip Keitel recently moved to Los Angeles, where he filmed the pilot for the new series from Kevin Williams, DAWSON'S SLAYERS, which debuts on the WB this Fall. Chip is second cousin twice removed to Harvey Keitel, but doesn't want that to get around because he wants to make it on his own. He began acting at a young age; while most kids watched SESAME STREET, Chip made many guest appearances on the show. While still a teen, he had a featured role in THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN. He has appeared on daytime dramas such as WEEKS OF OUR LIVES, COUNTY HOSPITAL, and AS THE PLANETS ORBIT, and won a Daytime Emmy in 1998. Chip is also pursuing a career on the big screen. This summer audiences will be able to catch Chip in Ben Stiller's latest film, as well as Sofia Coppola's THE GODFATHER DIARIES. Chip was runner-up for the part of Anakin Skywalker in STAR WARS EPISODE I, but lost out to that no-talent twerp Jake Lloyd. Chip is very pleased to be a part of PEI's collaboration with Tripaway on TAMING OF THE SHREW, because "the Bard ROCKS!" He wishes to thank his cousin, Harvey.
