This time the series follows a young psychic whose ghost of his grandmother tells him to go find refuge in the city of Midnight, Texas.

Kebbel plays Olivla Charity, a freelance assassin who is married to Lem, a vampire.

When he arrives, he finds a community of “monster” who can help him, including a vampire, a half-demon, a fallen angel, a witch, a werecreature, and more. This leads to battles from the outside world as the community tries to deal with the new psychic in town. Kebbel plays Olivla Charity, a freelance assassin who is married to Lem, a vampire who came to Midnight in the 1950s. The series lasted for two seasons and 19 episodes.

The Uninvited is a 2009 horror movie and was Arielle Kebbel’s third film in the genre, following the low-budget Reeker (2005) and the 2006 sequel The Grudge 2. This specific film is a remake of a critically acclaimed South Korean horror movie called A Tale of Two Sisters, and like most Hollywood remakes of Asian horror movies, it was not quite up to the level of the original. In the film, Emily Browning stars as Anna, a teenager who returns home after a suicide attempt after her mother died in a house fire.

Anna suspects that her father’s new wife (Elizabeth Banks) might have had something to do with her mom’s death. Anna is determined to find out what really happened the night of the fire and takes extra precautions to protect her sister Alex (Kebbel) as well. This was a tough role for Kebbel since her character is not what it seems, but she does a great job in her small part of the horror movie. The film has a 32% rotten rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but much of the problems come from comparisons to the superior original.

Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear reimagine the procedural drama with “9-1-1.” The series explores the high-pressure experiences of first responders — including police officers, firefighters and dispatchers — who are thrust into the most frightening, shocking and heart-stopping situations. These emergency responders must try to balance saving those who are at their most vulnerable with solving the problems in their own lives. The show draws from real-life, high-pressure experiences of first responders who regularly face heart-stopping situations that are often unpredictable, intense and uplifting at the same time.

Be Cool was one of Arielle Kebbel’s biggest movies early in her career as this 2005 film was the sequel to Get Shorty. Both movies are based on novels by Elmore Leonard and feature John Travolta starring as mobster Chili Palmer. In Be Cool, Chili sets out to enter the music industry and the trials and tribulations that come with that endeavor. The film has a huge list of talented stars, including Danny DeVito, Vince Vaughn, Harvey Keitel, Uma Thurman, and an early Dwayne Johnson role.

While the film wasn’t as successful as Get Shorty, it was just as entertaining with a lot of the credit going to the cast’s performances. Kebbel had a small role in the movie as Robin. Be Cool only received a 30% Rotten Tomatoes critics score and a 42% Popcormeter rating. However, the movie remains a slight hit, with some great performances and arguably one of The Rock’s best early performances that showed he could be more than a popcorn action hero.
