Chris is the protagonist of several Resident Evil games, novelizations, and films and has also appeared in other game franchises, including Marvel vs. Capcom, Project X Zone, and Dead by Daylight. In later games, such as Resident Evil 7 (2017) and Resident Evil: Village (2021), his features were based on European model Geordie Dandy. Several actors have portrayed Chris, including Wentworth Miller and Robbie Amell, in the live-action Resident Evil films.

Video game magazines have mainly given Chris unfavorable reviews; in particular, they have taken issue with the frequent modifications to his design and inconsistent use of appearance. However, he has been recognized for his sex appeal and is considered one of the sexiest video game characters by several publications. Some critics have referred to a scene of Chris punching a boulder in Resident Evil 5 as one of the most memorable within the Resident Evil series, which was also subjected to Internet memes.
