Christina Smith

Christina Smith is an actor specializing in television, film, and print work. She began her performing career at age five as a hula dancer in Hawaii, where her father was stationed with the military, and appeared as an extra on the original Hawaii Five-O. Smith progressed through school plays, local theater, and modeling before securing an agent and entering television and film. As a non-union actor, her typical day involves reviewing auditions from her agent or self-submitting for projects that fit her age group or appeal to her personally. She emphasizes the importance of understanding both the craft and the business side of acting, including contracts, and advises aspiring professionals to train with integrity and avoid being taken advantage of. Smith draws inspiration from performers such as Debbie Allen in dance and Pam Grier and Cicely Tyson in acting. In addition to her professional work, she volunteers with Habitat for Humanity and the Humane Society.
