His hobbies according to an audio interview with Chris Ho include cooking and running [[3]], and he divides his time between New York City - where he is based - and Los Angeles.
This Christopher Randolph should not be confused with Maryland lawyer Christopher S. Randolph, or the Christopher Randolph from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who ran for the 1st Congressional District seat in that state as an independent in 2004 against Bob Brady. That Christopher Randolph has appeared in the film Jersey Girl and the TV show Hack, which might lead to some confusion.
