Rebeca began her film career acting opposite Booboo Stewart and Kevin Sorbo in the independent feature ‘Hope Bridge’. Rebeca went on to work in film and television in Atlanta, GA where she had recurring roles in Hulu’s ‘Reprisal’ and OWN’s ‘Ambitions’. The short ‘Alina’, featuring Rebeca and Alia Shawkat, garnered over 100 awards at festivals in the U.S. and abroad. Most recently, Rebeca and Andy Gershenzon were awarded “Best Cast” at Brooklyn Horror Festival for their performance in the two-person feature ‘Old Flame’.
Rebeca has studied on-camera technique with Bob Krakower, Ellen Novack, and Johnny Wu.
Most recently, Rebeca wrapped a guest star on the new Paramount+ Yellowstone spinoff, Dutton Ranch, playing a young Annette Bening.
“While Annette Bening has commanded every scene as the present-day version of [Beulah Jackson], it was a younger actress who had to carry the emotional weight of that pivotal 1981 prologue. That actress is Rebeca Robles, and if her name isn’t already on your radar, it absolutely should be.”

“Old Flame works so well thanks to the committed and complex performances of Gershenzon and Robles. The two are in constant harmony and watching their on-screen sparring is completely mesmerizing.”
— The Hollywood News
“Rebeca Robles and Andy Gershenzon are absolutely stunning with their quick fire banter that always seems to have a hint of aggression to it…Robles expertly plays the manic pixie dream girl only to prove to us that she is anything but.”
— Brooklyn Horror Festival Review
“I would submit that it is Karyssa, superbly played by Ms. Robles, who emerges the hero in this play…the actors are close to flawless…we are left to marvel at two professional actors at the top of their form.”
