Who is Lilian Rebelo? The latest Only Murders in the Building cast member's career explored
Lilian Rebelo's character, Ana Westie, makes her first appearance in Only Murders in the Building in the first half of season four. It seems that Ana is Rebelo's first-ever role in front of the camera. However, despite it being her debut, Lilian Rebelo made enough of an impression on people. They wonder what's next for her in the near future. However, there is no answer to that question.
Let's look at her career until she appeared in Only Murders in the Building season 4:
A Fordham University Graduate
A native of Canford, New Jersey, Lilian Rebelo was a student at Fordham University, which is located in New York City from 2017 to 2021. Her LinkedIn profile lists Theater and Latin American Studies as a double major. Therefore, OMITB's Ana actor Lilian Rebelo joins Lana Del Ray, Denzel Washington, and Alan Alda as Fordham alumni.
Rebelo also trained at the London Dramatic Academy
In addition to being a Fordham graduate, Rebelo also received training in acting at the London Dramatic Academy. This is what it says on her official website:
"Originally from Cranford, New Jersey, she fell in love with acting from a young age. She has also trained at the London Dramatic Academy and continues taking workshops in New York."
Lilian has experience as a substitute teacher
Before acting, was a part-time substitute teacher. In fact, her LinkedIn profile lists her impressive experience in the teaching field. Her specialization is in K-12, with expertise in Algebra, and students whose second language is English.
As stated before Lilian Rebelo's first acting role in the audio-visual format is Only Murders in the Building. However, she does possess acting experience before OMITB. Those who frequently watch theatre would recognise her for her role in Our Dear Dead Drug Lord. The critically acclaimed comedy was performed to a live audience from August 20 to September 17, 2023. The performance of the cast was described as "electrifying" by the LA Times. It was probably this role that got Lilian Rebelo cast as Ana in Only Murders in the Building.
A Taylor Swift fan
Rebelo has been vocal about being a hard-core Swiftie. She has posted on her social media account about attending The Eras Tour in Philadelphia, in May 2023. Furthermore, in April 2023, Rebelo herself created a Swift-themed training challenge for a half-marathon by exclusively listening to the singer's albums. The record of this challenge can be seen in her TikTok videos.
