In June 2005, Rachel Fox and her family went on a family vacation to Los Angeles. During their LA family vacation, Rachel attended a movie and television acting camp, while her sister attended tennis camp. They never left Los Angeles, going back to Ohio only to pack their things they had left behind.
Within 3 months, Rachel was on the set of the hit Disney TV series, That’s So Raven, in a recurring role of Buffy, Muffy’s little sister. After a role in Passions and a co-star on Hannah Montana, Rachel made her way to primetime television, playing Young Jennifer Garner (Sydney) on the Series Finale of Alias.
Rachel next landed the role for which she is best known, Kayla Huntington Scavo, on Desperate Housewives. The role called for six recurring episodes, but quickly turned into a two-year series regular stint, as Rachel played evil Kayla wreaking havoc on the twins, Lynette and Tom Scavo, and all of Wisteria Lane.
Rachel began working in film on her first feature, independent film ‘Spork,’ which debuted at Tribeca and showed at BFI’s London Film Festival, and festivals around the world to rave reviews.
Rachel’s second film, Dream House, is a supporting role for Rachel in a star-studded masterpiece directed by Jim Sheridan. Rachel plays Naomi Watt’s daughter in Dream House, and is flanked by Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz in this psychological-thriller, to be released September 2011.
Rachel was casted as Rosie Donohue on CBS’s Vince Uncensored, starring Michael Chiklis and Elizabeth Perkins. Rachel had the pleasure of working with Chiklis and Perkins as her parents, and Paul Dooley and Georgia Engel as her grandparents, in addition to being directed by Kelsey Grammer.
Rachel is currently recurring on ABC Family’s number-one-comedy hit series “Melissa & Joey.” She plays Holly Reback, girlfriend of Ryder (Nick Robinson), in this hilarious multi-camera sitcom.
Outside of acting, Rachel is lead singer and rhythm guitar player for two rock bands, playing songs by Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Muse, My Chemical Romance, and others as well as originals she has written. Rachel plays tennis, loves the beach, and is active and adventurous.
