Arielle Kebbel

Born and raised in Winter Park, Florida, Arielle Kebbel has been pursuing a career in the entertainment industry for as long as she can remember. A veteran of the beauty pageant scene -- she was first runner-up at the 2002 Miss Teen Florida competition -- Arielle got her initial taste of acting at the age of 14, when she was cast in a public service announcement on date rape. Sensing her daughter’s natural talent for performing, Arielle’s mom decided that the time was right for a move to Los Angeles. The planets must have been aligned because Arielle immediately landed an audition for the "Gilmore Girls."

Arielle spent the majority of her early years in Hollywood taking on small, one-off roles in television shows such as "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" and "Entourage," as well as bit parts in movies like "Soul Plane" (2004) and "Be Cool" (2005). Following recurring stints on "Gilmore Girls" and "Grounded for Life," Arielle found herself being asked to audition for progressively bigger parts, culminating in her first starring role in "American Pie Presents Band Camp" (2005). She followed that up in 2006 with appearances in a pair of well-received teen dramas, "Aquamarine" (opposite fellow rising stars Emma Roberts and JoJo Levesque) and "John Tucker Must Die" (featuring Brittany Snow, Jesse Metcalfe and Sophia Bush).

In 2006, Arielle was extremely busy working on such films as "The Grudge 2," "Daydreamer" and "Outlaw Trail." Most recently, she was cast in HBO's "Ballers," a series centered around a group of football players and their families, friends, and handlers.
