Perhaps still the role I am most recognized for, my lead role as Catherine Holt in Fireproof completely altered the course of my career. The movie was a shocking success, often credited as a part of the beginning of the "Christian Film Wave" that is sweeping the Hollywood box office. Fireproof, made for a mere $500,000 went on to make nearly $35 million in theaters and become the #1 Independent film of 2008.
