Christie may be lighting up the small screen, but she was also once a dancer.

“I was a semi-professional gymnast as a child,” she told Access Hollywood in 2012. “I did rhythmic gymnastics, but I sustained an injury and strained all the muscles in my spine. When that happened, and I was told that I wouldn’t be able to dance again at that level, I decided … I’d become an actress instead.”
