Hi, I’m Christy Quilliam, a versatile performer with a long-standing career across film, television, theatre, and on‑camera presenting. I’ve worked on productions with WingNut Films and Peter Jackson, including a role in The Lord of the Rings and a hair styling credit on Yogi Bear, and more recently appeared on Shortland Street and done presenting work for TV networks. I bring energy, reliability, and a warm, engaging presence to every project, whether on set or in a studio. I’ve also gained experience behind the scenes in hair and makeup, wardrobe, and on-set styling, and I enjoy expanding my craft through voiceover, live presenting, and brand storytelling. I stay curious, adaptable, and dedicated to delivering top‑quality work across diverse media.
