Crystal Reed

In 2013, she bagged the role of Bess, the female lead of the direct-to-video thriller film ‘Crush’. Eager to portray difficult characters she can relate to, she wanted to play Bess so badly that she purposefully messed up her audition for another character of the film. While she has only a few acting credits in recent years, she has managed to gather a loyal fan base, whose incessant requests brought her back on an episode of ‘Teen Wolf’ as Marie Jeanne Valet, the ancestor of her original character, in a flashback story in season five. Her fan base consists of over 2.1 million followers on Instagram and 1.43 million followers on Twitter.

Movies

At the beginning of 2018, Reed managed to receive two prestigious awards. She made her debut in Skyline. Crystal played the victim of a monster that invaded Los Angeles in the low-budget horror movie. Critics gave the movie negative reviews, citing a flat storyline filled with uninspired dialogue. Viewers were not enthusiastic about the horror film. Nevertheless, the director said that the continuation of Skyline would be released presumably in 2017. However, they did not make it.

In 2010, the aspiring actress appeared in TV series but played minor characters. The role that Reed got in the tragicomedy Crazy, Stupid, Love did not make her famous either. Unlike Skyline, this movie received positive reviews.

But Crystal appeared in only a few scenes, and film critics did not pay attention to the young actress. However, Reed was not upset, because when tragicomedy appeared in cinemas, viewers had been already sitting on the edge of the seat, watching the TV series about werewolves for more than a month.

For four years, Reed played the girlfriend of the protagonist, a young man who became a werewolf against his will, in Teen Wolf. Crystal said in an interview that Allison became more than a fictional character. It was not easy to say goodbye to her heroine.

Nevertheless, the creators wrote about the death of Allison at the instance of the actress. In the 47th episode, which is entitled “Insatiable,” Allison is killed with arrows by a demonic warrior. The actress claims that this scene has become the most difficult part during four years of filming in the mystical series.

Fans immediately reacted to the death of their beloved heroine. So, there were photos of tattoos depicting Allison’s arrow on social media. The actress, who seemed to be used to the popularity of her character, was struck by such an emotional reaction of her fans. Perhaps viewers’ love influenced Reed’s decision to return to the project in 2016.

The scriptwriters did not resurrect the favorite heroine. The actress played in Teen Wolf again but appeared as Frenchwoman Marie Jeanne. She combined the shooting in Teen Wolf with roles in other projects.

In 2011, Reed appeared in the TV series Drop Dead Diva. She played a guest role in this project. Reed became so popular after the first season of Teen Wolf that in 2011, she was also offered to play a cameo role in the popular comedy series in the United States. In April 2013, the movie Crush was released, in which Crystal played Bess, the title character. The movie grossed $12 million against a production budget of 1.2 million but received negative reviews.

In 2015, the actress, who became famous for her role as Allison, played in a movie that was aimed at older viewers. The detective film Too Late did not cause a stir because people did not like the boring scenes and strange dialogues. However, this time, Reed played an unusual role as a stripper. Her heroine dies at the beginning of the movie.
