Christopher "Kris" Marshall (born 1 April 1973) is an English actor.

Marshall started acting at an early age, making an appearance in British TV series The Bill, but it was in 2000 that his major breakthrough role came as Nick Harper in the BBC sitcom My Family.

Since 2005, Marshall has appeared in TV and print adverts for the BT Group alongside Esther Hall.

Since his departure from My Family in 2003 he has returned twice. The first time was for one episode in series five (2004) and the second was for a Comic Relief special in 2005.

He finished working on Heist at the end of 2006, which aired on 23 April 2008 on BBC Four. He is currently performing in the first UK run of Neil LaBute's play Fat Pig at the Trafalgar Studios.

He was raised in Malmesbury, Wiltshire; Hong Kong and Canada, and educated at Wells Cathedral School and, after failing his A levels, Redroofs Theatre School. He lives in Windsor, Berkshire.

Marshall suffered head injuries after being hit by a car in Bristol in April 2008. The accident happened in the early hours of 28 April 2008 as Marshall enjoyed a night out with friends in Bristol city centre. He was taken to Bristol Royal Infirmary where a scan revealed head injuries. He made a full recovery and began his performances in the play Fat Pig three weeks later, as scheduled.

Kris supports Aston Villa and has said that a card from the club helped him through his accident.
