Christine Helen Lakin was born on January 25th, 1979 in Dallas, Texas. After
moving several times as a child, her family finally settled in Atlanta, Georgia
where Christine started her acting career. There she attended the Atlanta
workshop players - a theater group which plays in schools in the Atlanta metro
area. Her first audition was for a TV-commercial - "Got Milk?!", and after not
getting that job she didn't have to wait long for her next opportunity, which
was the part as the young Rose in the civil-war flick Rose and the Jackal, The
(1990) (TV), which also starred ‘Christopher Reeve' (qv). In 1991 she took her
first step towards big fame and landed the role as the tomboyish Al on the
Friday night hit "Step by Step" (1991).
During the sitcoms long run Christine gracefully grew up, graduated from high
school in 1997 and made various appearances on other television shows. When
"Step by Step" was cancelled in 1998, Christine, while attending UCLA and
majoring in film, looked for other film roles. She landed jobs in independent
films such as Big Monster on Campus (1998) and Finding Kelly (1999). Whatever It
Takes (2000) was Christine's first wide theatrical film release. Since then she
has had a slew of independent coming-of-age films along with guest appearances
on such hit shows as "Boston Public" (2000), and "Opposite Sex" (2000). Still
attending UCLA and handling a film career, Christine is managing to do what few
child-actors tend to do, which is continue.
