Chris Wilson is a Canadian actor and sketch comedian, most noted as a cast member of This Hour Has 22 Minutes. He first joined the show in 2020 as a writer and supporting player, and was promoted to a full-time cast member in the 2023–24 season due in part to his impersonation of Pierre Poilievre becoming increasingly important to the show as the 45th Canadian federal election approaches.
Prior to joining 22 Minutes Wilson was part of the sketch comedy duo Peter & Chris with Peter Carlone. The duo performed at Just for Laughs and the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival, and launched their own podcast, This Time It's Different, in 2021.
In 2024 Wilson and the other core cast members of 22 Minutes won a Canadian Screen Award award for Best Ensemble Performance in a Variety or Sketch Comedy Program or Series at the 12th Canadian Screen Awards.
He has also made supporting or guest appearances in the television series Run the Burbs, Hudson & Rex, Cavendish, Murdoch Mysteries, The Next Step, Gary and His Demons and Cupcake & Dino: General Services.
