He was a young black kid growing up in a single-parent home in the inner city of Detroit with a love for horses, who fought the obstacles of racism to become one of the top African-American riders in the history of equestrian show jumping. In 1992, Mr. Ewing and one of his horses was inducted into the Guinness Book of World Records.
Besides being an accomplished equestrian, Mr. Ewing is also an actor, T.V. show host and producer. As an actor, he has appeared on such top rated shows as "All My Children", "One Life to Live" and "Kate & Allie" plus over 80 radio & T.V. commercials, as well as narrator and /or spokesperson in countless industrial films for General Motors, IBM and many others. He is also the creator, producer and host of "Hang On to the Dream", a unique children's television newsmagazine which showcases young people who are considered positive role models for other young people. This program has won the prestigious "Emmy Award" for "Best Children's & Youth Program" as well as a "Service to Children Television Award" presented on Capitol Hill by the National Association of Broadcasters, which named "Hang On to the Dream" one of the top-10 children's programs on television in 1995. Following the success of that program, Post-Newsweek Inc. developed a talk show which they asked Mr. Ewing to be the host of. The show, "Christopher E!", was a hip teen-oriented "interactive" talk show which dealt with issues that concern young people. The show was nominated for numerous awards and was highly praised for its unique style, as well as for Mr. Ewing's hosting abilities.
