Leven Rambin Makes a Difference On and Off Screen - page 2

Despite the challenges surrounding her role (which was previously played by Mischa Barton), Rambin says that she was not nearly as nervous as one might expect.

"I probably should have been more nervous, because I really didn't realize how powerful the media was," she says. "Coming into it, I'm kind of glad that I wasn't so intimidated, because that would have probably ruined my performance."

In addition to immersing herself into her character on camera, Rambin has also made the role part of her real life as well, working with Cure Autism Now in an attempt to raise awareness for those in need.

"I think it's really important to find out what causes it," Rambin says. "One out of every 156 children are diagnosed with autism now. It was much more rare 30 years ago, so it's obviously something in modern society that's causing this."

Rambin is currently preparing to host a number of Cure Autism Now campaigns all over the country, in addition to doing several public service announcements.

"I'm glad that I can put a face to a cause, because it's a really interesting topic," she says. "If I can draw more attention to it, I think that's really the best thing that I can do for it. I hope to be more alluring to whoever wants to cure autism."

Rambin feels that one of the most important messages to get across about autism is that every victim is different.

"Autism has a lot of different levels and severities," she explains. "I also think it's really important to understand where people with autism come from and the way they think before anybody judges them for their actions."

For her efforts, Rambin has been recognized by Teen People, which named her to their list of Top 20 Teens Changing the World.

"That was amazing," she says of the honor. "I really enjoyed that experience. That was just another good thing to be a part of."

In addition to the long hours often required when shooting a soap, Rambin explains that there are other unique challenges as well.

"Recently, I haven't been working that much because we do have 50 characters," Rambin says. "Everyone kind of just has to take their turn and be patient with it.
