The 36-year-old actress made her movie debut in 1990 feature "Mermaids" alongside Cher and Bob Hoskins before appearing '90s hits "The Addams Family" and "Casper".
For a long time Christina simply turned up on set to shoot her scenes then left, barely keeping in contact with anyone afterwards, but working on her new Amazon series "Z: The Beginning of Everything" has changed her entire outlook on acting, reported Contactmusic.
"I didn't know what it really felt like to care that much about a project. Then while I was doing this I was like, 'Oh, so this is what was going on for that other person when they were acting like this!' That's one of the things about growing up - you realise you've got to care about something," Ricci said.
