Austinite on Disney Sunday movie
Austinites are all over TV these days, and next up is 23-year-old Christina Murphy, who has a co-starring role in Sunday night’s ABC Family Channel film “Campus Confidential.”
Murphy plays the mean head cheerleader and chief rival of the movie’s lead character, played by Christie Carlson Romano.
“We exchange many food and drink dumpings on each other,” said Murphy, who lives in Austin when she’s between jobs. “This is my first major movie role, and I was so nervous.”
The Disney-produced film, directed by Melanie Mayron (“thirtysomething”), was shot in New Orleans and airs Sunday at 6 p.m. Murphy also appeared in Blake Shelton’s music video “Goodbye Time.”
Murphy, whose father Mike manages a landscaping and maintenance firm here, was born and raised in Austin, played golf and volleyball at Anderson High and graduated from the University of Texas last year with a degree in theater and dance.
“I learned so much about acting from Stephen Gerald, my favorite acting teacher at UT, and I will be forever grateful,” Murphy said.
