Her memorable and riveting performance in the 1998 antiheroin “kitchen smashing” public service announcement (“This is your brain...”) led to her first starring role in Miramax’s breakout hit “She’s All That,” the enchanting teen comedy costarring Freddie Prinze Jr. Rachael’s next role put her comedic ability to work in the title role of aspiring rock star Josie McCoy in Universal’s “Josie and the Pussycats” alongside Parker Posey and Rosario Dawson. Continuing to lend her talent to notable films, Rachael starred with Hilary Swank and Colin Hanks in New Line’s dark comedy “11:14,” and alongside Sylvester Stallone in “Get Carter.” She also starred in “The Big Empty” opposite John Favreau, and the romantic comedy “Blow Dry” with Josh Hartnett.

Shortly thereafter, he was cast to play a series lead role in ABC’s “Rookie Blue,” and subsequently went on to shoot all five seasons of the show, playing Chris Diaz.

  • Canadian Television 2015 a Guide to Current Production
    CANADIAN TELEVISION 2015 A GUIDE TO CURRENT PRODUCTION Prepared for Michael Hennessy, President & CEO Canadian Media Production Association (CMPA) Curated by Bill Brioux CANADIAN TELEVISION 2015 1 A GUIDE TO CURRENT PRODUCTION CANADIAN TV ENTERS A GOLDEN AGE For the last 30 years, in my time reporting on it, television in Canada has undergone many changes. The one constant, however, has been the nagging impression that Canadian television is somehow inferior to the US brand. This notion has only intensified in recent years, in what some call the new “Golden Age” of TV drama. So, as many have been asking, where is Canada’s Golden Age? Well, you’ll find it in the pages of this book. Not everything that comes out of Canada is the quality of The Sopranos or Mad Men or Breaking Bad. Then again, few shows from America can come close to Bill Brioux these classics. The fact is Fargo, the most-nominated TV series at the 2014 Emmy Awards, is produced in the province of Alberta. Yes, the producers and many of the stars are Americans, but you should hear them gush about Canadian crews. Billy Bob Thornton, for one, is a fan. “One night, it went down to 40 below and they wouldn’t allow us to work,” he told me of working near Calgary on Fargo. “You figure if a Canadian says it’s too dangerous to go out there, it probably is too dangerous to go out.” FX Networks, considered the top non-premium US cable brand and a rival to HBO overall, invested The fact is television $100 million in Canada during the past TV season.

  • The Troubled Television Program Haven Season 2 Syfy Channel
    The Troubled Television Program By Fearless Young Orphan Haven Season 2 SyFy Channel TV Series WELL THANK GOODNESS the SyFy channel finally fixed all those terrible problems that Haven was having in the first season. If you’ll recall, last year I did a scathing review of that trash heap of a show and listed all the reasons why it just sucked so bad that it made Baby Jesus cry. Yes, it turns out that humorous, thoughtful and poignant television programs with fleshed-out characters and charm to spare must make Baby Jesus cry, so the creators of Haven quickly rethought their creative process to change all that, producing instead a dull, glum cliché of every X-Files wannabe since 1993, beating the life and charm out of all its characters until we have a show that makes Baby Jesus rethink his television choices altogether. I’ve had a few shows break my heart, and it’s never easy. The X-Files was one such show; SyFy’s reboot of Battlestar Gallactica was another. Man, that puppy crashed like the ever-lovin’ Hindenburg. If you’d like to hear a case study of my reality-based problems, I’d be happy to dish, but you’ll have to email me because I won’t take the time here. Haven was not as beloved to me as those two shows. But it was a real pleasure back in Season 1, and I was truly looking forward to Season 2. Staring Season 2 sent up a lot of red flags, though. For a couple episodes, it seemed that the show was having trouble finding its footing.

Her diverse body of work combined with a rapidly growing fan base has demonstrated her appeal to a broad range of audiences who can easily relate to her approachable wit and down-to-earth personality.
