When she was just nine years old, Odeya Rush moved with her family — including her six brothers — from Israel to Alabama. Interestingly, as soon as they arrived in the United States, she made it clear to her family that she wanted to become an actress. Two years later, the family relocated to New Jersey, where Rush landed her first print and television commercials.

The move to Los Angeles marked a significant step in Odeya Rush’s career, leading to appearances on television shows such as Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and the beloved HBO comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm.

She then took on a darker role in the horror remake We Are What We Are (2013).

One of the most defining moments in Odeya Rush’s early career came when she landed the lead role in The Giver (2014), starring alongside heavyweights like Meryl Streep, Jeff Bridges, and Taylor Swift. It was a challenging audition process — she had to go through six rounds before securing the part — but it paid off, earning her the Teen Choice Breakout Star Award. In 2015, Odeya Rush continued to build her film presence with another leading role in the big-screen adaptation of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps, where she portrayed the daughter of a fictionalized version of the famous author, played by Jack Black.
