Hoping it's not her time in the Warner Bros release, "The Final Destination", is Janet Cunningham, portrayed by Haley Webb. "At the beginning of the film, Janet is fairly conservative," notes Webb. "She's focused on being very neat and tidy and pristine, everything in its right place. But as the film progresses, she goes through a transformation. When confronted with the possibility of her own death, she realizes the way she's been going about her life has been a bit too prudish. Instead of giving up, though, she decides to face it head on. So in a certain way, Death sets her free."
The filmmakers thought Webb was a real find, the girl next door who's incredibly funny and charming. Her character is pursued by would-be Romeo Hunt Wynorski, for whom they needed an actor that had the kind of confidence and quick wit that the character embodies. They found what they were looking for in Nick Zano.
Of the especially freaky moments, Webb recounts, "In some of my scenes, that wasn't acting. David and the crew made things look so real that there were a couple of times when there was so much adrenaline, I almost forgot there were all these people around making sure I was safe and recording my perils for entertainment."

For television, Webb has appeared on the CBS series "Close to Home" and "Shark," starring James Woods.
In 2003, Webb competed in the Talent America competition, winning in both the acting and dance categories. Later that year, she moved to Los Angeles and continued to study her craft with legendary acting instructors Howard Fine, Joanne Barron and D.W. Brown.
Webb moved with her family in 2001 from her native state of Virginia to San Diego, where she was active in her high school theater department and won several awards for her performances.
