Devin
Skrade

Devin is a writer, producer and actor from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He made his living appearing in print, commercial and television over the past 20 years in Los Angeles, but after landing a role on the hit television show Mad Men as the affable racist “Chip”, he realized his true passion was more in the crafting and writing of stories.

The award-winning short film ‘Snowbird’ (2025) was Devin’s first foray into producing, but he’s worked in a number of rooms developing television shows, and co-wrote the optioned horror feature ‘Rakshasa’ with his wife, writer/actor Ansuya Nathan.
