From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christine Helen Lakin is an American actress. She 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?!". She did not get that role but soon after she gained a part as the young Rose in the civil-war film, The Rose and the Jackal (1990) (TV), which also starred Christopher Reeve.

In 1991, she took the role as the tomboyish Al on the Friday night sitcom Step by Step (1991). During the sitcom's long run, Christine grew up, graduated from high school in 1997 and made various appearances on other television shows. When "Step by Step" (1991) was cancelled in 1998, Christine attended UCLA and majored in film.

She was given jobs in independent films such as Big Monster on Campus (2000) and Finding Kelly (2000). Whatever It Takes (2000) was Christine's first wide theatrical film release. Since then, she has acted in several independent coming-of-age films along with guest appearances on such hit shows as Boston Public (2000), and Opposite Sex (2000).
