Early life

Career

In 2013 Rice made her feature film acting debut with an apocalyptic thriller film These Final Hours along with Nathan Phillips, which Zak Hilditch directed based on his own script.[2][3] She appeared in the live action sequences at the beginning and end of the animated film Walking with Dinosaurs.[3][4]

In 2015 Rice appeared in the television series The Doctor Blake Mysteries, Worst Year of My Life Again, and Mako: Island of Secrets.[4]

In 2016 Rice appeared in the science-fiction fantasy film Nowhere Boys: The Book of Shadows,[4] as "Tegan", a supernatural villain, commenting "It was very strange because I have never had magical powers before and I have also never been the bad guy so I was super excited to play Tegan."[5]
