Welcome, Christie Insley!

Writing about Christie Insley seems almost perfunctory. Her forceful personality is the kind our business usually associates with comedy, so distinct and recognizable that it might as well be trademarked. Over the next ten years, expect her attitude and bearing to be celebrated and imitated by countless others in the media.

What I'm saying here is that Christie Insley's rise to stardom is inevitable. When something comes along as obvious as this, I'll certainly use it to my advantage... but I'm not racing to get there first. There are enough guys trying to make Christie into the next Sarah Silverman, or perhaps the next Linda Hamilton. Me? I like surprises too much.

So what surprises me about Christie Insley?

First of all, she's incredibly smart. Her cocky, snarky tough girl image is so perfectly fetching that most people don't take the time to realize how incredibly observant and bright she is.

That's layer one. She'll show that to anyone with the brains and the patience to look.

There is a deeper side to Christie that directors will understand, but that agents and managers never will. As a performer, her tough girl shtick isn't just a marketable image. Much more importantly, it's a measure of how supported Christie wants to feel. Give her the confidence and strength that she presents herself with, and she literally blooms before your eyes. Give her that structure, support, and safety, and suddenly she becomes vulnerable and open to whole new worlds. Then, she can take the REAL risks!

Bravery like hers can touch the sky, if only someone will give her a lift. That's not something you find in the marketing materials. There's no race to show that side of Christie, but there it is. Begging to be expressed.

Everyone wants her to make them laugh. Everyone wants her to stomp their heart out in high heels, and to look great doing it. Everyone wants to see her doing pull-ups in a sweaty jumpsuit. So when everyone wants something, how does the media respond?

Right.

In the midst of all that sound and thunder, some bastard is going to swoop in and catch a performance that changes everything. Suddenly, the world looks past the sit-com, action film sheen that the industry is using Christie's natural charisma and gorgeous looks to buff into their production slate, and that's when the world realizes: GODDAMN, CHRISTIE INSLEY CAN ACT!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am that bastard.

To all those racing to get the best of Christie Insley, good luck. Hope you love second place.

To Christie Insley, welcome. We promise to celebrate, inspire, and nurture your courageous, adventurous heart.

To the rest of you, I'll simply say this: Sign her mailing list, bitches!
