Erika Christensen: Born in 1982 in
Seattle, Erika Christensen was raised in the suburban outskirts of Los Angeles,
California. At age 12, Erika knew that she was going to be an actress. Talented
in acting, singing and dance, the young Christensen was determined, not just
lucky; it wasn't long before she landed her first job: a commercial for national
advertising giant, McDonalds. She followed up with a part in Michael Jackson's
music video for "Childhood," then landed her big break: a lead role in Disney's
Leave It to Beaver (1997). Christensen was only 13 years old, but acclaimed by
critics for her "chemistry" and "radiant self-assurance."
Guest spots on television followed. Christensen popped up everywhere including
prime time heavy hitters like "Frasier" (1993), _"Nothing Sacred" (1997/I)_ ,
"The Practice" (1997), "3rd Rock from the Sun" (1996) and "Touched by an Angel"
(1994). Erika received a nomination by the Hollywood Reporter for the 1998 Young
Star Award (Best Performance By A Young Actress in a TV Drama Series) for her
outstanding performance in _"Nothing Sacred" (1997/I)_ .
Erika also kept her big screen presence known, in 1999 she worked on a Disney
made-for-tv movie called Can of Worms (1999) (TV). And in 2000 Erika was able to
show the world her acting chops when she took the gritty role of Caroline
Wakefield, a teenage daughter of the White House Drug Czar who is herself a drug
addict, in the award-winning Steven Soderbergh film, Traffic (2000). Aside from
the distinction of playing alongside Hollywood's elite, Erika earned critical
acclaim for the realism of the role, and received multiple awards including
Female Breakthrough Performance at the MTV Movie Awards, Female Standout
Performance at the Young Hollywood Awards, and Outstanding Performance by a Cast
Ensemble at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Named one of People Magazine's 'Breakthrough Stars of 2001'.
She is a talented singer.
She has had to research several movie roles in which her characters experience
various aspects of school life; this is because Erika never went to public
school, but was tutored at home by her parents. Also, unlike her Swimfan (2002)
villain "Madison Bell," she is a superb real-life swimmer.
Elder sister of Dane Christensen and his twin brother Brando.
She attended Delphi Academy, a private primary and secondary school in Los
Angeles that is run according to the philosophies of L. Ron Hubbard and the
religion he created, Scientology. To research her role in _Traffic_ ,
Christensen also consulted Narconon, a chain of drug rehab centers run by the
Church of Scientology.
