Chris, played by Jason Priestley (Season 2) is a handsome, but anti-social marine biologist and son of the very popular Mayor Brody. He describes himself to Audrey as a cynical jackass . He has a scientific approach to the world, preferring to observe and analyze in order to understand things. When the mayor dies in Sparks and Recreation, Chris inherits his Trouble, the ability to influence people favorably when they look at him. People lose their normal will and fawn over him with the notable exception of Audrey who The Troubles do not affect. Chris has great difficulty in dealing with the unwanted attention, as people stop behaving rationally. He is first attracted to Audrey because she doesn't fawn over him. As he gets to know her he finds her amazing . They get closer to each other and develop a romantic relationship, until Audrey experiences his death in her cyclically repeated day off (Audrey Parker's Day Off). She realizes that it is selfish of her to think of Chris when she has to save all the Troubled people in Haven. She sends Chris off to London. He returns later (Lockdown), but his affliction tempted him to do as he pleases which irritated and almost killed Audrey. From the experience, he broke up with her to become a better person.
