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 The Rose and the Jackal (1990), which also starred
Christopher Reeve. 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 sitcom's long run, Christine gracefully 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, while attending UCLA and majoring in film, looked for other film roles. She landed jobs in independent films such as Boltneck (2000) and Finding Kelly (2000). 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.
