Rise to Stardom

She additionally appeared in print ads for tourist spots, hotels and villas in Hawaii.
At the age of eight, she booked an audition for the role of Grace Williams in the police crime series “Hawaii Five-0”, which is a reboot of the original series that aired in the ‘70s and ‘80s.
Playing the recurring character as the daughter of the main characters Rachel Edwards and Danny Williams, Teilor has starred in seven seasons, and then guest-appeared in the 9th season. Despite not landing one of the main roles, she achieved great success for her portrayal and became one of the most popular characters. Additionally, the show received numerous positive reviews throughout its run, garnering over 20 nominations and several awards. After a 10-year-run, the show was canceled in 2020 for several reasons; the show was around for a long time, and it seemed that the story could not evolve more than it already had.

Why did Teilor Grubbs leave “Hawaii Five-0”?

But to be completely honest I don’t know why I was not in the last season. I would say it was a lot harder; I lived instead of 10 minutes away, I was a six-hour plane ride.”
She also disclosed that she hadn’t moved to L.A. to quit the show, even though some rumors circulated, explaining: ”I really moved to L.A. for more opportunities, to expand my career, to try new things and experience the world. A lot of people ask me about this and I get DM’s about the show.”
