Jacqueline Sobreo Rice (born April 27, 1990) is a Filipino-American actress, singer, model, dancer, and songwriter.
Born to an American father and a Filipino mother, Rice grew up in Olongapo City, Zambales. She was a student at St. Anne Academy in Olongapo City when she entered showbusiness through GMA Network's reality search contest StarStruck, where she became the Ultimate Female Survivor in the show's third season.
After StarStruck, she appeared in Love to Love and Fantastikids and later starred in Fantastic Man. She later joined Dyesebel and then Ang Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang. She was then cast in a supporting role in the remake of Kung Aagawin Mo ang Lahat sa Akin, playing Maxene Magalona's younger sister.
In 2009, she played Helga, ang Demonyita, a villainess in Mars Ravelo's Darna starring Marian Rivera. In early 2010, she was cast in the fantaserye Panday Kids before landing lead roles for the shows Dear Friend Presents: Tisay and Ilumina, where she played a dark sorceress possessed by a demon. In 2017, she joined the cast of My Love from the Star.
In 2018, Rice took on another villainous role when she played the insane Ava, lead antagonist of Hindi Ko Kayang Iwan Ka, drawing similarities to fellow StarStruck alumna Ryza Cenon's performance in Ika-6 na Utos. Later in 2019, she was cast as Tiffy, the comical supporting villain in TODA One I Love. In an interview with Rice, she admitted that the antagonist role was far from her previous characters, stating her character in Hindi Ko Kayang Iwan Ka was a "very dark and cold-blooded murderer," whereas TODA One I Love, she was "flirtatious and comical."[1]
Rice appeared as the cover girl for Maxim magazine in July 2009, and FHM twice in January 2010 and July 2012.
She currently lives in Quezon City and is a contract artist of GMA Artist Center.
