Babich branched out from musicals and stage performances in the summer of 2005 when she filmed Now What? an independent film similar to frat favorite, Animal House. Babich did not have a huge role in the film, but is credited as Attractive Girl #1. "Hey, I'm not complaining! I have a credit!" said Babich enthusiastically.
At the crossroads of seasons and in between her blossoming career and sophomore year at Salve, Babich threw herself into another independent film, Lycan, a horror film about werewolves and goriness. Not exactly along the same lines of being referred to as 'attractive' but a job nonetheless and one step closer to the versatility of her role model, Reese Witherspoon.
"I just admire the way she chooses her roles. They're all so different, yet portrayed so accurately." With Babich's up-to-date resume of songstress Sandy in Grease, tap dancing jitterbug Maggie Jones in 42nd Street and the coveted little mermaid, Babich is well on her way. So what comes next?
"I just finished shooting a few scenes as a photo double for Steve Carrell's daughter in his and Dane Cook's new comedy, Dan in Real Life."
Most recently, however, the new face of Nissan is taking over televisions across the country in the car commercials. Apparently, America has fallen in love with the blonde bombshell because due to an increase in sales, the automobile powerhouse just signed her on for a new batch of ads.
But she's not stopping there! "I signed on for a new film, [Conned] which is a thriller," she said as if it's no big deal that she may be tackling yet another movie genre.
Babich keeps her head level through all of the glitz and glam of her potential future, constantly reassuring herself that nothing is certain. So what would she do if her dreams of stardom don't quite come true? "I've been thinking of combining my love of teaching kids with my passion for performing and who knows-maybe one day I'll open my own community theater. That played such a huge part in who I am today and that would be amazing to be able to give that to some other children."
Sounds like either way, Kirsten Babich is going to be a bright star.
