Rachel Nielsen is an actress and model in the NYC area. Most recently, she was cast as 'Rose' in HBO's 'Mare of Easttown' with Kate Winslet.  She also is starring in the feature ‘Alpha Rift’ as the female lead acting alongside veteran actor Lance Henriksen. The world premiere of ‘Alpha Rift’ took place at the TCL Chinese theatre in Hollywood as part of the 24th annual Dances with Films Festival and is coming to theaters soon. 

 

Rachel began cultivating her passion for performing while attending the Center for Performing and Fine Arts High School in PA. While in school, she began studying and has since graduated four years of Meisner Technique training at Playhouse West Philadelphia with Tony Savant. 

 

While studying her craft, she was hand picked for Leads in two feature films directed by Jim Parrack (True Blood, Suicide Squad) and acted alongside Leven Rambin (Hunger Games) in one of them. She has costarred with comedic actors Brian O’Halloran (Clerks) and Dian Bachar (BASEsketball) in the episodic ‘Green Piece’.

 

Having always had a spirit to serve, Rachel has been awarded as “Phillies Extraordinary Scholar” for her volunteer efforts at Citizens Bank Park, by Senator Vereb, the Montgomery County Commission on Women & Families, Kohl’s, and Prudential. One special experience in particular which was an affirmation in her purpose to use art as a vessel for good was having organized a community talent show to raise money for Variety Club Children’s Charity. She was also recently honored with selection as a Young Adult Ambassador for the 2021 National Mental Health Advisory Board in partnership with Active Minds, WellBeing Trust, and Young Invincibles. 

 

She also loves spending time playing dungeons and dragons with friends, reading a good book, and playing ukulele. Faith, Family, and her dog River bring her joy and inspiration!
