Biography

Arielle Kebbel is rapidly ascending the ranks of Hollywood's most sought-after talents, boasting a unique blend of raw talent and natural charm. This versatility has positioned her to become one of the most dynamic and multifaceted actresses of her generation.

She played the lead role of "Amelia" in the NBC series "Lincoln," opposite Russell Hornsby, based on the highly acclaimed Jeffrey Deaver crime novel, The Bone Collector.

Kebbel also starred in the NBC series "Midnight, Texas," from 2017-2018, based on the bestselling supernatural trilogy by Charlaine Harris, and ABC's "Grand Hotel," produced by Eva Longoria.

On the big screen, Kebbel portrayed Gia Matteo in the final installment of the Fifty Shades of Grey saga, Fifty Shades Freed, which premiered in February 2018, breaking box office records.

On the small screen, Kebbel starred opposite Dwayne Johnson on HBO's hit series, "Ballers," focusing on a group of young athletes seeking to make a name for themselves with the misguided advice of their agents and financial advisors.

Kebbel caught the attention of critics and audiences alike with her scene-stealing turn as the villainous Britney in Lifetime's critically acclaimed series, "UnREAL," a performance which Entertainment Weekly cited as one of the "Best of 2015".

She is perhaps most familiar to television audiences from her role on the CW's "The Vampire Diaries," in which she played the charismatic and wise beyond her 300 years, Lexi Branson. In addition to her role on the hit show, Kebbel hosted the CW's "The Vampire Diaries: Rehash," an interactive weekly recap of the show.

Additional television credits include recurring roles on "Gilmore Girls", "Life Unexpected", "Grounded for Life", "The League", "The Grinder", CW's "90210", as well as guest starring roles on "True Blood", "Hawaii 5 0," and "Law & Order: SVU".

Over the years, Kebbel has starred in a number of films which made their debuts at prestigious film festivals such as Brooklyn Brothers Beat the Best, directed by Ryan O'Nan, which premiered at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival; I Melt with You, starring Rob Lowe and Jeremy Piven, which premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival; and Supporting Characters, directed by Daniel Schecter, and also starring Lena Dunham, which premiered at the 2012 Tribeca International Film Festival.

Her other film credits include John Tucker Must Die, The Uninvited, The Grudge 2, Think Like a Man, and Aquamarine.

Kebbel currently resides in Los Angeles.
