Julia Rehwald talks the "Fear Street" trilogy, her college experience in NYC, and shares an embarrassing audition story for one of the most popular Broadway musicals!

About Julia Rehwald:

Star on the rise Julia Rehwald was born and raised in California. Having always known she wanted to be a performer, Julia participated in plays in high school. Post-graduation, Julia packed her bags and made the cross-country move to NYC to study acting at Tisch. Once in New York, Julia signed with a commercial agent who secured her first audition for an IKEA commercial, which she booked. Julia continued the rigorous program at the Tisch School of Arts, including a semester abroad studying at the Royal Academy in London. There, Julia learned useful acting techniques and focused on Shakespeare. Julia returned to New York and graduated a semester early and immediately began auditioning for film and TV. 

One of the first films Julia booked was “Fear Street,” the film adaptation of R.L. Stine’s YA horror series. Netflix brings the trilogy to the streaming platform in July in which Julia can be seen in two of the films: parts one and three. Each “Fear Street” film has a different perspective and story. First, Julia stars as Kate in “Fear Street Part One: 1994,” a story about love and friendship, and is a homage to the horror/adventure genre like “The Goonies.” The film centers on teens living in Shadyside, a bad part of town that is cursed by a witch. Julia’s character of Kate is a confident overachiever, who is head cheerleader and valedictorian. Her main goal is to be successful enough to get out of the town. Her character really cares about her friends and doesn’t care for people outside of her inner circle.
 

“Fear Street Part Three: 1666,” is a story about love between sisters. Julia plays the role of Lizzy - the spunky fun one who always wants to get everyone together to party and is always down to have a good time. Lizzy is the only one in the group who has gone to visit the town outcast, who everyone thinks is the witch. Filming was an incredible and unforgettable experience and Julia made lifelong friendships with the other cast members. She felt a huge female presence on set and behind the camera and going to work each day was a joy. Filming was an incredible and unforgettable experience and Julia made lifelong friendships with the other cast members.

When not on set, Julia enjoys hanging with friends, playing video games, watching movies past and present. Half Filipino, her family and their culture are very important to her and she looks forward to going back to visit some of her mom’s family in the Philippines soon. Her parents still live in California with the family dogs Toby and Angel.
