In the summer of 2013, Cris joined the judging panel of TV ONE’s number one entertainment show New Zealand’s Got Talent. At age 21, Judd became interested in dance. Within a year, he began dancing and choreographing professionally at Disney World’s Pleasure Island and then shortly thereafter was chosen as one of the original Chippendale’s dancers. In 1995 he was hired to dance with Michael Jackson for the MTV Video Music Awards, which led to his dancing with Jackson on the Dangerous and HIStory world tours. In 1999, he performed at the Billboard Music Awards with Celine Dion, the MTV Music Awards with N’SYNC, and in 2000 at the American Music Awards with Enrique Iglesias and Brian McKnight, and for “Best Song” nominee That Thing You Do at the 69th Annual Academy Awards. Judd has also appeared in music videos including, My Way for Usher, Jump, Jive, & Wail for the Brian Setzer Orchestra, If I Could Go for Angie Martinez and Tango for Julio
Iglesias.

During this time his choreography career exploded and he was asked to mchoreograph the 2000 Tour for Jordan Knight, appearances for Paulina Rubio, as well as music video’s Ain’t It Funny and I’m Real for Jennifer Lopez. He also directed the music video, Ain’t It Funny-Remix with Ja Rule and was the creative director and choreographer for Jennifer Lopez’s NBC concert special, Let’s Get Loud. He also choreographed the dance sequences for the film, Bringing Down The House starring Steve Martin and Queen Latifah and coached Nicole Kidman during her performance in the film, The Human Stain. In addition, he composed the song, Alive (his first track), which was selected as the theme song for the film, Enough. With his one-of-a-kind personality and soft-spoken demeanor, he was a perfect fit as a celebrity judge on MTV’s Made, and Lifetime’s Your Mama Don’t Dance, as well as hosting Dirty Dancing for WE and Bust A Move for MTV. He also appeared as a celebrity choreographer in an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians with Kris Jenner and on The Real Housewives of New Jersey with Melissa Gorga.
