Christina Schmidt (born September 16, 1987), sometimes credited as Chrissy Schmidt, is a Canadian actress and model.

Early life

Schmidt was born and raised in the Kitchener-Waterloo area.[1] She attended school at Waterloo-Oxford and Cameron Heights in Kitchener.[2]

Career

Her big break came when she was hired to play Terri McGregor in the Canadian television hit Degrassi: The Next Generation.[3] The role was a challenge for the teenage Schmidt, because the character is insecure about her self-image and appearance, and becomes entangled in an abusive relationship.[4] She continued in the role until season 3, when her character was put into a coma by her boyfriend.[5] Following her departure from the show, she began a modeling career.[6] She was represented in fashion and print modelling by B&M Models in Toronto. She appeared in the fall 2007 ad campaign for MXM, a Canadian junior plus-size clothing line. She has modelled for Torrid and Nygard.[7] Some more of her work includes Canadian designers Hilary MacMillan, Lesley Hampton, and Hayley Elsaesser.[1] She also stars as one of the professional runway models in the show How To Look Good Naked Canada on the W Network. In 2018, she reunited with her Degrassi co-stars in Drake's music video for his single I'm Upset.[8] She currently is represented by LeDrew Models.[9]
