Actress Navi Rawat has been bumped up to recurring status on Fox’s “The O.C.,” and the up-and-comer will stay in the network’s family, taking a prime role in the “Oahu” pilot. For the time being, Rawat will play an expanded role in Fox’s popular Wednesday night soap, as Ryan’s (Benjamin McKenzie) ex-girlfriend from Chino. The character, Theresa, made her second appearance of the season in last week’s episode.
In “Oahu,” perpetually described as an “Upstairs, Downstairs” drama set at a Hawaiian luxury hotel, Rawat will play the hotel’s concierge.
The actress’ other credits include the feature “The House of Sand and Fog” and a multiepisode stint on Fox’s “24.”
