Where You’ve Seen Madison Iseman Before The Rainmaker
The Actor Is Known For Both Movie And Television Roles
Before joining the cast ofThe Rainmaker, the project that Madison Iseman was probably best known for was starring in the two most recentJumanjimovies. Sheappeared in both 2017’sWelcome to the Jungleand 2019’sThe Next Levelas Bethany, the real world teenager who, in the video game world, takes on the form of Jack Black’s Professor Sheldon “Shelly” Oberon in the first movie and the horse Cyclone in the second movie. However, she has also appeared in a variety of other big screen projects.
Iseman’s movie roles include quite a few horror titles, ranging from family-friendly fare such asGoosebumps 2: Haunted Halloweento more mature horror offerings including theConjuringuniverse movieAnnabelle Comes Homeand the upcomingWitchboardremake. However, she has also appeared in movies representing many other genres including the music dramaClouds, the fantasy adventure movieKnights of the Zodiac, and the comedyThe Fox Hunter.
TheWitchboardremake was directed by Chuck Russell, who previously helmed the 1988 remake of the sci-fi classicThe Blob.
Although many of her best known roles are in movies, Iseman has also had ample television experience beforeThe Rainmaker. This includes starring as twins Allison and Lennon inPrime Video’sI Know What You Did Last Summerand starring opposite Billy Ray Cyrus on the short-lived comedyStill the King. Considering how much experience the star has under her belt, it makes sense that she would be locked into the role even before the lead character against whom she will be playing is officially cast.
