Teenage drama can eventually become exhausting, and Rachel Bilson has been there, done that - moving on.
The "O.C." star says she is ready to transition from the small screen to the big screen. She admits the show that made her a star has been a "great experience" but that it's time to take on new challenges.
The brunette actress, who plays Summer Roberts in the hit series, admits she has lost her enthusiasm for the role that rocketed her to fame and feels it might be the right time for a new challenge.
She said in an interview with Teen Vogue magazine, "I just feel like the show is over. I'm so happy for everything it brought me, and it's been such a great experience, but I think we're all ready to move on."
Rachel's co-star Mischa Barton, who played Marissa Cooper, has already left the show to pursue a movie career.
Rachel is set to make her movie debut in her new film, "The Last Kiss," which is set for release this week.
The 24-year-old actress appears alongside "Scrubs" star Zach Braff and Ben Affleck's brother Casey in the movie, and she admits it was nerve wracking making the transition from the small screen to the big screen.
Rachel, who is dating her "O.C." co-star Adam Brody, said, "I definitely put a lot of thought and consideration into choosing my first film. It's really hard to do the jump from television to movies, especially coming from a show like "The O.C." where you're so typecast into a teenage genre."
