Chris McLean is the main antagonist of Cartoon Network's Total Drama franchise. As the announcer of the show, Chris is in charge of designing challenges for the contestants to compete in—all of which he intentionally makes excruciating and gruesome for the contestants to satisfy his sadistic tendencies. In-universe, it is confirmed that Chris did not create Total Drama by himself—as he mentions the producers multiple times in the series. His most important co-host, employee, and best friend is Chef Hatchet, as well as several interns whom he torments (even recklessly murdering and injuring them via neglect for their well-being) for fun. Whenever he is absent, he lets Chef host in his dangerous challenges. He has since become one of the most iconic characters of the series. In the first six seasons, he was voiced by Christian Potenza, who also voiced Trevor Troublemeyer in Sidekick and Earl McGee in Moville Mysteries. Starting from season 7, he is currently voiced by the show's writer and executive producer Terry McGurrin who also voiced Don in the spin-off series, The Ridonculous Race.
