“Rebecca Breeds is a very talented actor. She was so focused and driven as a young lady. Later in her studies, when Rebecca was working on Blue Water High and Home and Away, she somehow continued with classes and found a way to balance it all together. She didn’t miss a beat for years. A few years into her career, when I interviewed Rebecca, I said to her, “Bec I honestly can’t see you not going places. You’re too talented, focused and kind not to be liked and hired.” It’s no surprise she is where she is today.”
