Brooke Dulien

Brooke Dulien, honestly, doesn’t get nearly enough credit for spicing up the screen in her films. She’s not one of those actors who just blends into the background—nah, she leaves a mark. If you caught Hit and Run back in 2012, you probably remember her sharp delivery and the way she could flip a scene from tense to hilarious on a dime. Not every actor can pull off that kind of whiplash, you know? And then, skipping ahead to The Nod in 2021, she switched gears completely. Drama, tension, a little bit of mystery—she had it all going on, and you could seriously feel it in every scene she was in. People sometimes sleep on these smaller projects, but The Nod? That was her flexing some real range. Now, The Thicket in 2024 is where things get spicy again. This film, it's gritty. It's not your average, paint-by-numbers thriller. Dulien finds herself tangled up in a dark, messy world—think dusty backroads, secrets buried deeper than your grandma’s jewelry box, and a cast of characters you wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley. Her character is layered—she’s got this rough edge but there’s a heart in there, if you know where to look. The way Dulien plays it, you’re never quite sure what she’ll do next. That unpredictability? That’s what keeps you glued to the screen. Honestly, she brings a spark to every project, whether it’s wild car chases or slow-burn drama. If you haven’t paid attention before, now’s the time.
