Arielle Kebbel, who trades in her firefighter gear from ABC's "9-1-1" to play a lifeguard on Hawaii's punishing North Shore in the new Fox series "Rescue HI-Surf," told TheWrap that the demanding role is "a dream come true" - even if it comes with bloody knees, scars and learning to hold her breath underwater. The actress, who also played Lexi Branson on "The Vampire Diaries," described the audition process as "intense." But that was just a precursor to the ongoing physical training, which included getting certified as a real lifeguard, a scuba diver and to operate . . .
