Folks, we’ve made it! As September comes to a close, the Halloween season is just around the corner. Before we get there, though, we’ve got one more Woman Crush Wednesday to salute this amazing actress, singer, and producer who has been turning out dependably top-notch work since she was a young child. Give it up for your WCW, the vivacious Christina Vidal, without further ado!
Who Is Christina Vidal?
Why everyone loves her: On October 1st, we saw the Netflix debut of the criminal thriller The Guilty, in which Vidal stars as Sergeant Denise Wade. Joe Baylor (Jake Gyllenhaal), a dismissed police officer who has been sent to a call dispatch desk, finds himself torn when he receives an emergency call from a kidnapped lady in the movie, which is a remake of the 2018 Danish film of the same name. This dramatic new film also stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Ethan Hawke, Paul Dano, Riley Keough, Eli Goree, Bill Burr, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph, among many other well-known actors.
The movie, which had a brief theatrical run on September 24, is already getting a lot of positive press and attention from outlets like CNN, Empire, Decider, and others. When The Guilty debuts on Netflix this week, be sure to watch it to discover what all the fuss is about.
Where Have You Seen Christina Vidal before:
When Vidal played Angie Vega in the 1993 comedy-drama feature film Life with Mikey, she had already reached 13 years old. This marked the beginning of Vidal’s professional onscreen career. From then, the teenage actress shot to fame. Over the ensuing years, she made appearances in shows like Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher, Brink!, Providence, and Touched by an Angel as well as the 1995 coming-of-age dark comedy Welcome to the Dollhouse.
By the turn of the 2000, Vidal had landed her own Nickelodeon sitcom, Taina, in which she played the title character Taina Maria Morales from 2001 to 2002. As a result, she added more roles to her filmography, including those in the television series Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, 10-8: Officers on Duty, Girlfriends, ER, Monk, House, The Deep End, Castle, The Player, and Major Crimes, as well as the comedies Chasing Papi (2003), Freaky Friday (2003), See No Evil (2006), I Think I Love My Wife (2007), and Magic Man (2010). With regular parts in television series like Code Black, Training Day, Sneaky Pete, Grand Hotel, and United We Fall as well as work in movies like The Keeping Hours from 2017 and 7 Days to Vegas from 2019, Vidal has kept up her impressive work over the past few years.
We look forward to the many accomplishments Vidal will continue to have in the years to come. With such a wide and lengthy list of credits, it is no wonder that Vidal has made such an amazing and long-lasting career for herself in the entertainment industry.
What is Christina Vidal doing Next? Her Upcoming Movies/Tv Shows?
You won’t have to wait long to see more from Vidal, thankfully. In the new drama-thriller series The Terminal List on Amazon Prime Video, the actress will play Mac Wilson. The show centres on a former Navy SEAL officer (Chris Pratt) who is trying to figure out why his whole battalion was assaulted during a crucial clandestine mission. In addition to Vidal and Pratt, the presently filming series has a stellar cast that includes Constance Wu, Taylor Kitsch, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Riley Keough. It is based on the 2018 Jack Carr novel of the same name.
