“…thanks to Rebekah Kennedy’s sympathetic performance, the rage that fuels her attacks is palpable and almost understandable. Kennedy’s performance is what really elevates the narrative and invests you in the story…her turn which is equal parts tragic and terrifying tears at the audience’s empathy as she goes on her rampage.”- Cinapse “Two Witches”
Hey there! I’m Rebekah, I’m originally from Texas, though I’ve never had an accent to deal with. I’m thankful for that as I now live in Los Angeles. I enjoy mountains of books, hot chocolate, and anything that involves nature.
I grew up doing theatre, which I started at age 12, but it wasn’t until I graduated from Palm Beach Atlantic University that I discovered my love for the screen, and my need to play dark complex roles. After giving theatre a break, I was over the moon when I booked the lead role of Hanna in the feature “House Hunting” with Marc Singer and Art LaFleur. I then went on to play Caroline in “Creature” starring Mehcad Brooks and Serinda Swan. Then came another amazing opportunity when I got to work opposite Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman in “Season of the Witch.”
In 2011, I made my television debut playing a pregnant teenager who couldn’t take care of her baby in “Memphis Beat” on TNT. Then in 2016, I guest starred in “Criminal Minds” on CBS playing a young woman who had been held hostage for 10 years. And then went on to play the lead guest star Esther Labott, a young woman who was neglected by her family, in The Book of Esther in “Law & Order SVU” on NBC. Most recently I guest starred in “Station 19” as a drug addict that robbed an ambulance. Coming up, you will be able to catch me recurring in the Netflix show “The Lincoln Lawyer.”
I can also be seen as one of the lead roles in the horror film “Bastard” with After Dark Films and Fox Home Entertainment which opened in theaters October 2015, “Let Me Make You A Martyr” with Mark Boone Junior and Marilyn Manson, “Street Level” with Sons of Anarchy’s David Labrava and Mark Boone Junior, Netflix’s “To The Bone” with Lily Collins and Keanu Reeves, “Limbo” with James Purefoy, and “A Dark Foe” with Graham Greene and Selma Blair. Most recently you catch me as the mute girl Jojo in the Amazon prime movie “Los Angeles,” Milly in “The Unseen” with RJ Mitte, and the starring witch Masha in “Two Witches” on Arrow Video.
I most recently wrapped “Crust” with Sean Whalen and Alan Ruck and “The Veil” with Sean O’Bryan which both will be releasing fall of 2024.
When I’m not working, you can find me in class studying with the Berg Studios, reading, or exploring a new city. I have made my career playing the strange, unique, and unusual and it’s been a joy.
