Early life

Born in a town on the outskirts of Ontario, Cox is a mixed-race Canadian of Irish, English, Scottish, German, Dutch, and African-Jamaican descent.[1] She has two older sisters.[2] Her father is an automotive executive.[3]

Cox studied theatre and dance at the Arts York program at Unionville High School. She competed in gymnastics, track and field, and taekwondo. She had aspirations of becoming an Olympic gymnast, but instead chose to focus on drama and theater.[4]

After high school, she studied for two years at the Ryerson Theatre School of Toronto.[4]

She is also proficient in boxing, muay Thai kickboxing, and fencing, and has had training in stage combat, period weaponry, and firearms.

Career

Cox has more than 38 movie and television appearances. Her best-known movie credits include the 1999 Canadian movie Better Than Chocolate, and the movie The Chronicles of Riddick. She received a Gemini Award nomination for her performance as Angela Ramírez in F/X: The Series.[5][6] Initially, Cox was a cast member of the UPN sitcom Girlfriends, played as Lynn, for the pilot episode, but replaced by another mixed-race actress Persia White in the final-cut series.[7][8][9]

Cox has appeared in numerous national theater productions, including Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, and Jim Cartwright's Road.[10]

She is a trained stuntwoman who performed boxing stunt work for Hilary Swank in Million Dollar Baby.

Cox's first role as a main character in a television series was that of Vicki Nelson in Blood Ties, a supernatural detective series based on the novels by Tanya Huff.[11][12] Huff later said, "Back when Christina Cox was doing F/X: The Series, I used to point at the screen and announce, 'When she's a little older, she'd be brilliant as Vicki!"[11]

She starred as astronaut-biologist Jen Crane in ABC's 2009 summer show Defying Gravity.[13][14][15] Cox also appeared in a Season Four episode of Showtime's series Dexter, playing villainous police officer Zoey Kruger.[16] She was in the cast of the 2011 ABC summer drama Combat Hospital (aka The Hot Zone), alongside Elias Koteas and Deborah Kara Unger. She has appeared in the NCIS episode Freedom.

Personal life

Cox is married to Grant Mattos, a former NFL wide receiver for the San Diego Chargers. They eloped and married on October 1, 2010, soon after he returned from competing on Survivor: Redemption Island.[17] Their daughter was born in December 2013.
