Ruby Rose has become best-known for her work on television series such as Orange Is the New Black and Batwoman, but this Australian actress has done a lot more work. Born in 1986 as Ruby Rose Langenheim, Rose started her career as a presenter on MTV Australia. She then went into modeling and became the face of Maybelline New York in Australia.
She also co-hosted various television shows. But it wasn’t until 2011 when she kickstarted her acting career. Nowadays, Rose is not only known for her many roles on TV and in films but also because of the way she’s open with details from her life. Let’s check out her 10 best roles, as ranked on IMDb.
Pitch Perfect 3: 5.8
Let’s kick-off this list with the successful musical franchise Pitch Perfect. It’s easy to forget that Ruby Rose played a part in the film since she wasn’t one of the leading characters but watching the film will no doubt be a pleasant surprise for all Rose’s fans. Especially those who had no idea that she could not only act and fight but also sing.
Around The Block: 5.9
The lesser-known film Around the Block is one of Ruby Rose’s older acting parts, with its date of release in 2013. It focuses on an Aboriginal boy who’s torn between his love for acting and his family that his falling apart. Ruby Rose appeared in the film alongside Christina Ricci and she played the part of Hannah. It was Ruby Rose’s film debut.
Cranston Academy: Monster Zone: 7.0
Ruby Rose mostly plays in live-action films and TV shows, but her acting filmography also includes animated work. One of her recent acting roles is the part of Liz in the 2020 Cranston Academy: Monster Zone. As of the writing this article, only eleven people rated the film on IMDb so its rating might very well change in the future. Either way, this story about a boarding school that hosts a portal to another dimension filled with monsters sounds like a fun film to watch.
Break Free: 7.5
Many people might not know this short personal film Break Free Ruby Rose did back in 2014 before her bigger roles came. The short 5-minute film focuses on gender roles, and what it feels like to have an identity that differs from what many people consider to be the status quo. The film isn’t very well-known but deserves more attention, especially if the fans want to see Ruby Rose at her finest.
Dark Matter: 7.5
Ruby Rose sported a slightly different look in this TV series and she was even more badass than usual (and that’s saying something). Dark Matter ran from 2015 to 2017 and the sci-fi action story focused on a group of people who wake up on a deserted spaceship and have to find out what’s going on. Ruby Rose appeared in the seventh episode of the first season and played the part of Wendy the Android.
John Wick: Chapter 2: 7.5
Ruby Rose kicks some serious ass and it’s a good fortune that the filmmakers of the second 2017 John Wick movie realized it and gave her a part in the action-filled film.
Ruby Rose plays Ares in the film and even though her part isn’t a leading one, she still managed to make the most of all the scenes she appeared in. Plus, her fighting scenes were brilliant and could have possibly attributed to the fact that Rose was later cast as Kate Kane aka Batwoman.
Resident Evil The Final Chapter: Stunts And Weaponry: 7.7
Ruby Rose shines in action roles so she often plays them, both on the big screen and on the small screen as Batwoman. She was one of the cast members of the 2016 action flick Resident Evil: The Final Chapter and was also a part of this short 2017 film. As its title suggests, it focused on weaponry and stunts used in the film and provided further information to everyone interested in what it takes to make an action film such as this one.
The Flash: 7.7
The Arrowverse shows like to connect its various heroes and Batwoman is no exception. The masked hero also joined forces with her fellow superheroes when it became clear that a single hero wouldn’t be able to deal with the crisis.
It’s not Rose’s first appearance as Batwoman since she reprised the iconic role in more than one Arrowverse series during the crossover TV events, and The Flashwas just one of these series.
Tourism Australia: Dundee – The Son Of A Legend Returns Home: 8.1
Unlike other TV shows and films on this list, this short 2018 comedy whose name is a bit of a mouthful isn’t very well-known. It focuses on Brian Dundee who tries to find his father in the Australian Outback. The film lasts only three minutes so any Ruby Rose fans can watch it in a very short time. Rose joined other established Australian actors in the film, such as Chris Hemsworth, Hugh Jackman, or Margot Robbie, so the cast is indeed stellar.
Orange Is The New Black: 8.1
It will hardly come as a surprise that Ruby Rose’s best-rated acting work on IMDb is on the show Orange Is the New Black since it was this show that first brought her into the public eye and made her a recognizable name. The successful show ran for seven seasons and even though Rose only played in it between 2015 and 2016, her character Stella Carlin drew a lot of attention to her and brought her many fans. Interesting trivia bit – before she got the part, Rose was unemployed for two years.
