While playing Nami is one of her best performances in her career, it certainly is not the first or the best thing that has happened to her. Her acting journey started in the early 2010s when she started featuring in music videos, and ever since then, she has not stopped. She has done about six movies and a few TV shows.

However, according to critics, her best-rated work is the movie Fear Street Part Three: 1666, which is the third installment in the Fear Street trilogy, written by Phil Graziadei and Janiak and based on the teenage horror fiction book series of the same name.

Emily Rudd’s Best Rated Work

According to Rotten Tomatoes, Rudd’s highest-rated work is Fear Street Part Three: 1666, with an exclusive rating of 88%, which is based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics. While One Piece live-action stands at 85%, her lowest-rated work is Moonshot, which was released in 2022 and has a rating of 62%.

The Fear Street movie franchise follows the terrifying adventures of Deena Johnson, a teen, and her friends, who decide to take on an evil curse that has been taking countless lives in their town for almost 300 years. The series is the perfect blend of horror and violence, as all three movies follow the base story to the core.

Based on the standards of Rotten Tomatoes, almost all of Rudd’s work is considered “fresh,” which is pretty decent considering that she just started her acting journey in movies and TV shows a few years ago. And although she didn’t earn much fame with the trilogy movie series, it exposed her to Hollywood standards and gave her hindsight on her journey ahead.

One Piece live-action is one of the biggest Netflix projects, and considering the worldwide popularity that the One Piece franchise as a whole has, it is safe to say that Rudd is only going to go up from here on. She even recently got a voice-acting role for a major character in the popular anime series Delicious in Dungeon.

The One Piece live-action series has the capacity to become one of the greatest shows of all time, and based on the story, it can go on for very long. Thus, Rudd’s role as Nami solidifies her place in the series and also exposes her to new possibilities and projects that could certainly enhance her career as an actress.
