Rachel Marcus has had one of those "only in the movies" experiences. Having gotten off the camp bus just a mere 24 hours before her "first ever, in her life" audition, she managed to land her very first role, the lead nonetheless, in "Booky and the Secret Santa". And what luck - she had the divine opportunity to star alongside Megan Follows, Canada's treasure - and what an amazing experience that was. The role of "Booky" was written for Rachel... or so it would seem. Positive and determined, the two have a lot in common. "Booky's Crush", Rachel's second film aired in February 2009 with fabulous reviews. Soon to be seen: The feature film "The Dogfather", "Vacation with Derek"on the Family Channel in late June, and for the little ones, "Stella & Sam", the animated series is slated for March 2011. Rachel had a blast in the animation world while voicing Stella. Rachel is on the set of "The Devil's Teardrop", for Lifetime as this piece is being written. When Rachel is not at auditions or on set, she can be found doing a number of things including dancing, singing and playing on any school sports team available!
