Ruby Rose has bid an emotional adieu to critically-acclaimed series "Orange Is The New Black", saying the Netflix prison drama went on to become a game changer not only for the actor but also for showbiz.

The Australian actor, who joined the show in season three as inmate Stella Carlin, gave a final shout-out to the series on Sunday on Instagram as its seventh and final season premiered on July 26.

Rose, 33, chronicled her journey from home to Hollywood and said after two years of trying to get a manager or an agent, she had spent every last cent she had made in over a decade of "showbiz".

"I was living on a blow up mattress from Target and I had only six months left on my Visa to prove I could contribute to the industry abroad," she added.

The actor said when she was about to give up, she made a short film called "Break Free", leaving all prejudices and fears behind and believing in herself.

The short, she said, changed her life in so many ways.

"The film ended up circulating around the world, it made an impact bigger than myself it started a bigger conversation."
