Rachel Lien is a rapidly emerging, award-winning actress, singer and dancer.

Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska - Rachel's desire to perform became apparent before the age of eight. She soon began acting, singing and dancing on the same stage where such legends as Marlon Brando and Henry Fonda began their careers - the nationally renowned Omaha Community Playhouse. By the age of 12, Lien was garnering praise from theater critics and audiences alike. Roles in The Miracle Worker, Gypsy, and Annie Get Your Gun would earn her the Theater Arts Guild Award for Best Youth Actress, and the prestigious Mary Peckham Award for her stunning portrayal of Helen Keller.

Although aptly described as "a bubbly ingénue who can sing and dance up a storm," Lien's dramatic talents began to emerge on screen as well. Appearing alongside other rapidly rising young actors such as Kelly Blatz and Daryl Sabara in the film "April Showers" (also starring Tom Arnold and Illeana Douglas), Lien's depiction of Jessica earned high praise from director Andrew Robinson who described her as, "One of the best raw talents I've come across in a long time." Her role in "Ticket Out", starring Ray Liotta (Goodfellas, Charlie St. Cloud) and Billy Burke (Twilight, New Moon), will further reveal her range of talent as the rifle-toting, orthodontia-challenged drugstore employee, Ellen.

With a year to go at the University of Nebraska - the urge to head to Hollywood was too great. Armed with a trunk-load of talent, along with a sparkling, fresh and determined spirit, Rachel Lien recently arrived in Hollywood and is decidedly on track to become one of our next great American actresses.
