Alias has returned for it’s final season and client Rachel Nichols is ready to rock! Anyone following Rachel’s career better have lots of time on their hands, as she is sure to be on Hollywood’s most-wanted list, with an Oscar impatiently waiting in the wings for the right role to catapult this talented beauty into her rightful place. Rachel has come so far since her first audition, which was for the role of a restaurant hostess in a 2002 episode of Sex and the City, and, of course, she got it. She is definitely a serious Hollywood player since she starred in the 2005 FOX series “The Inside”, guided by
exec. producer, the
incredible, Tim Minear,
who hired Crystal Carson
to coach on the show,
and said of Rachel,
“She's a star in the
making, I feel. And
an unspoiled delight..."
The show echoed
Silence of the Lambs, and Rachel along with co-star Peter Coyote, received generally favorable marks from critics. Mr. Coyote said of Crystal, “As a coach, she is quite astute.” Actor Jay Harrington also declared his thanks for Crystal’s work with him. Rachel gushes that Crystal is”...[her] coach, [her] inspiration, [her] teacher, [her] most cherished of friends...[she is] my everything...and, for all these things, I cannot possibly thank [her] enough.”
I cannot possibly thank Rachel Nichols enough for the joy, the love and the satisfaction she gives me as an acting coach. There is nothing I would rather do than spend time with her developing a character, inventing an imaginary history or shooting the shit. She is a beauty on the inside as well as the outside. I grow as much as she does in our sessions and I am honored to be a part of her journey.
Nichols on Alias
Nichols now plays Rachel Gibson on Alias, a computer expert. Nichols' character was created as a possible replacement for series star Jennifer Garner's Sydney, had the actress chosen to leave the show or scale back her involvement in the series before it wrapped.
