Imagination.

Authenticity.

“Acting is the art of living truthfully within imaginary circumstances.” (Sanford Meisner.)

Rebecca Hazlewood has an accomplished resume in acting which extends from the UK where she has worked in film, television and stage for 10 years and more recently to her debut in the States where she has completed lead roles in independent features Ode to Lata and Kissing Cousins both released in theatres last year. She is recently appearing as Sia Clements in the BBC Drama “Masters Of The Universe”, playing a troubled and intense college lecturer who engages in a relationship with a volatile student resulting in life threatening consequences.

In relatively romantic comedy Kissing Cousins she plays Zara who’s mischievous and flirtatious nature gets her into trouble with her cousin and his friends and in Ode to Lata she plays Parin, an East Indian housewife and mother trapped in an abusive marriage within the stifling community of 60′s Kenya. She recently filmed the thriller Las Dos Caras de Jano in Peurta Rico.

Rebecca has also recently guest starred as unaccommodating Air Hostess Nalini in “Lost” and recurred in the penultimate series of E.R as “Jaspreet”, Neela’s sexy and unpredictable cousin who is running away from family obligations in London.

Rebecca won a scholarship age 16 to the prestigious King Edwards VI school after gaining 9 GCSEs at top grade. she gradated in Psychology, English Literature and Theatre studies and went on to study at Bretton Hall, a distinguished intellectual University College in the North of England noted for its excellence in sculpture, music, art, fashion, politics, English and Dramatic Art. Rebecca graduated with a high class degree in English Literature with honours yet had continued to pursue and refine her passion for the stage alongside her studies and was selected to perform in theatres as Isabella in Measure For Measure and at the Edinburgh Festival attracting the attention of agents.

Her debut performance came after being cast as Talia Ahmed opposite Clive Owen in the ITV drama series Second Sight. Then as the lead role of Mina Shukla in Film 4′s feature Dog Eat Dog alongside David Oyelowo of ‘Last King of Scotland’ and Gary Kemp of The Krays/Spandau Ballet. She then went on to play opposite Orlando Bloom in the short film FEVER and secure the well known role of Beena Shah in the long running drama series Crossroads and then the recurring lead role of Arun Parmar in the 7th series of immensely popular psycho drama series Bad Girls. She then appeared in the role of Beth in the Film Four Feature ‘Meeting Helen’ with Madeleine Potter and Emily Woof , directed by idiot savant Christopher Doyle before relocating to America.

Despite working consistently in her profession Rebecca has always strived to refine her art in the Theatre by studying the Meisner technique extensively with a Theatre Company in London for over 6 years. Her stage performance of Shakespeares Juliet using the Meisner technique attracted the attention of Director Mike Figgis who encouraged her to consider a career in America..

She originally came to Los Angeles to study the Method with Tony Greco and auditioned and secured the role in Kissing Cousins within two weeks of arriving which prompted her relocation. Rebecca is currently studying technique at the Ivana Chubbuck Studio in Los Angeles in Ivana’s personal Masterclass. Her ethos as an artist is to live in the moment; developing characters with imagination and authenticity.

She resides between Los Angeles and London.
