Career
Rebecca began her acting career by appearing in TV commercials for brands such as ‘KFC’ and ‘McDonald’s.’ In 2000, she also appeared in an episode of the Australian police-procedural series ‘Water Rats, titled ‘Jump in the Mouth.’ Her role as ‘Cassie Cometti’ in ‘Blue Water High’ helped her launch her acting career.
She made her first appearance on the big screen in 2008, as ‘Leah Pointin’ in the Australian feature film ‘Newcastle.’ The same year, she appeared as ‘Ruby Buckton’ in the popular Australian soap opera ‘Home and Away,’ also known as ‘H&A.’ She won the hearts of her audiences through her performance.
Her performance as ‘Ruby Buckton’ helped her get nominations for multiple awards. She was nominated twice for ‘Logie Awards,’ an Australian TV award presented by the magazine ‘TV Week,’ once for the ‘Most Popular New Female Talent’ (2009) and then for the ‘Most Popular Actress’ (2010). Later, in 2012, she was nominated for the ‘Inside Soap Award’ for the ‘Best Daytime Star,’ a recognition awarded by the ‘Inside Soap’ magazine to British and Australian soap-opera talents.

‘We Are Men’ did not do well for Rebecca because it could not attract the expected viewership and was discontinued after two episodes were aired. However, she did not give up on her American dreams. In 2015, she earned the recurring role of ‘Nicole Gordon’ in the sixth and the seventh seasons of the teen mystery–thriller ‘Pretty Little Liars’ and ‘Aurora de Martel’ in the third season of ‘The Originals.’ The latter was a spin-off of the supernatural TV series ‘The Vampire Diaries.’
She returned home in 2016, to play the character ‘Camille’ in ‘Molly,’ a two-part TV biopic on popular Australian music legend Molly Meldrum. She also starred in two Australian feature films: as ‘Keevey’ in ‘Three Summers,’ a romantic comedy, and as ‘Sally’ in ‘Slam,’ an Australian–French co-production, released in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
She returned to America in 2017, as ‘Megan James’ in an episode of the military-drama series ‘The Brave,’ titled ‘The Seville Defection.’
Some of her minor roles include those of ‘Avery Witshell’ in an episode of the crime drama ‘Notorious,’ titled ‘Taken’ (2016), and ‘NCIS Agent Scout Manion’ in two episodes of the American military drama ‘The Code,’ titled ‘Maggie’s Drawers’ and ‘Secret Squirrel’ ( 2019).
