Worth

Clip: Season 14 | 9m 18s

Christopher Worth was an aspiring actor in college but it wasn’t until a part in a musical required him to sing that he discovered he had a voice. Since then, “Worth” as he is known, has come to think of his talent as a gift as well as a devotional practice. With a vow to share his gift with the world “no matter what,” Worth is dedicated to singing to strangers on the street as to paying guests.
