It's like he had a career (https://youtu.be/KYLbHfQS9Z8?t=324) for a few years and then disappeared (https://www.filmboards.com/board/20501422/). After Duet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duet_(TV_series))/Open House (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_House_(1989_TV_series)), his most noteworthy acting gig was probably on Thunder in Paradise (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Trivia/ThunderInParadise) alongside Hulk Hogan (https://www.wrestlinginc.com/1081311/the-story-behind-hulk-hogans-failed-tv-show-thunder-in-paradise/). Maybe given that he's Hollywood royalty (his dad is Jack Lemmon (https://rarifiedheirpodcast.com/episode-75-chris-lemmon-jack-lemmon/)), Chris could've naturally been able to get more millage out of himself in Hollywood. Especially considering that Chris looks exactly like his dad.
