Christie Peruso started her career in theatre in NYC as a teenager, and at 19 years old became a member of Actor's Equity Association. In 2011, after studying at American Musical and Dramatic Academy, she was scouted by an international modeling agency in Milan, and stepped away from acting for 5 years to model across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the US. Within the first year of returning to acting in 2016, she landed roles in Of Kings and Prophets (ABC), as "Tatiana" in A Cinderella Story: If the Shoe Fits (Warner Bros), as "Harriet" in Blood Drive (SyFy), and as "Geo-Tech Vargas" in Tremors 6 (Universal Pictures.) Christie splits her time between New York, Milan, and Cape Town. After shooting a handful of productions in Cape Town, Christie became a member of the South African Guild of Actors, as well as a member of Sisters Working in Film & Television (SWIFT.) Christie was invited to attend the International Film and TV Dialogue in Johannesburg in 2018 to further improve women's working conditions in Film, TV, and Screen Based industries. Recently at both the Cape Town Film Festival and at the Women's Initiative hosted by the Motion Picture Association, Christie championed improving conditions for women in the film industry. Christie is a strong advocate for female screenwriters, and is herself one. She writes in both English and Italian, and as of 2018 is developing an Italian family comedy.
