Solidifying herself as a teen star on the rise, Sami Rappoport, of the 4X-time Emmy nominated hit Hulu series "Pen15", brought popular middle school bully "Becca" to life for it's three seasons.
"Pen15" tells the comedic story of middle school seen through the eyes of two 7TH grade girls, Maya (Maya Erskine), and Anna Kone (Anna Konkle). Sami was born and raised in Southern California where she began performing at the age of three. Sami fell in love with acting, theatre and music after starring as Donkey in "Shrek", in her 5th grade school musical. From that moment on, she knew she wanted to dedicate her life to the arts, being specifically drawn to acting in television and film. In between seasons of filming "Pen15", Sami, also starred in Brat TV's series "Sunnyside Up".
In early 2022, Sami filmed her first short "Something New", where she plays the role of Abby.
Sami is also a talented musician and loves playing piano as well as the ukulele, which she self-taught as a child. With many aspirations in multiple fields in the entertainment industry, Sami is also constantly writing her own music, as well as her future film and television projects. While Sami portrays the popular bully on "Pen15" in real life, Sami is the exact opposite. She ironically, was apart of an anti-bullying club, a year before she landed her first role in "Pen15". Sami also likes to donate her time and energy to organizations dedicated to rescuing dogs, helping children in need as well as raising awareness for rare blood disorders such as Hemophilia. She is a fierce advocate for female empowerment as well as seeing more female representation in the industry.
