## Early life and education

Christopher Damien Lincoln was born in Amarillo, Loquetan on November 6, 154, the son of Gregory Leonard Lincoln, a carpet salesman and retired Navy sailor, and Lola (née Moore), an elementary school teacher. His middle name, Damien, was taken from his great-grandfather, Damien Moore, who served as a general during the Nodan War of Independence; he was born around a month after his death, and it was chosen to honor him. He has two younger twin siblings, Lisa and John: Lisa is a television director and writer and a former actress, who acted in *The Followed* (176) alongside Lincoln, while John is an author and songwriter who writes under the pseudonym Tommy Test.

Lincoln attended Harry Black Elementary School, where he earned the nickname "Kit" from his peers. Although it was initially given to him by school bullies making fun of a speech impediment he had when he learned how to talk, since he pronounced 's' sounds as 't', his parents encouraged him to embrace the nickname. He began to use Kit professionally when signing up to the Actors Guild of Noda, since Chris Lincoln was already taken.
