For the next few years, he juggled school work with leading roles in Love is the Drug, Stardust, and Aisling's Diary. In 2009, he teamed up with Robert Sheehan for the second time in the crime-drama Love/Hate (TV series). He had worked previously with Sheehan on Song for a Raggy Boy. In 2010, he had a small part in the comedy gangster film, Perrier's Bounty, also starring Cillian Murphy, Brendan Gleeson, and Jim Broadbent before working with Joe Flanigan and John Rhys-Davies on the Sci-Fi TV movie, Ferocious Planet. In 2012 he played William Kelly, an assistant electrician in "Saving the Titanic" alongside Andrew Simpson, his co-star in "Song for a Raggy Boy". Chris Newman made his debut in the Abbey Theatre in February with two twenty-minute plays about love, life and relationships called 'Love in a Glass Jar' and 'Ribbons' [3][4] In 2013 he appeared in Quirke.
