Lex Scott Davis Talks Playing An Attorney in ABC’s Upcoming Series ‘Rebel’

Best known for her role in Tony Braxton: Unbreak My Heart and Superfly, Lex Scott Davis is coming back to the small screen. She stars as a series regular in ABC’s brand new drama Rebel.

Inspired by Erin Brockovich’s story, the show follows Annie “Rebel” Bello (played by Katey Sagal), a blue-collar legal advocate without a law degree who cares desperately about the causes she fights for and the people she loves. That includes Davis’s character, Cassidy Ray, who is not only a lawyer but also Rebel’s daughter. Both work closely together – anytime Rebel needs an attorney, Cassidy is there.

When talking about what attracted her to this project, Davis recalls reading the script and being drawn in by the unique family dynamic presented on the show and the diversity it brings. She says it is “a proper representation of what America is today. It’s not just this or that; it’s a combination of everything. And I like that this story completely embraces that.”

Watch Rebel on Thursday, April 8 at 10/9c on ABC.
