彼女は常に「夢を現実化にしよう」をモットーに頑張ってきた。人を動かすものが何なのかを知りたいと思い、演技に夢中。女優の技を極めようと有名な演技コーチのAnthony Abeson、Lesly Kahn、Bob Krakower、Sharon Chattenに師事し、 世界中有名な即興とコント劇場と演劇学校Upright Citizens Brigadeで訓練も受けた。

human Imagination turned reality.

Meisha Brooks is Canadian-American actress born and raised in Boston, fluent in Japanese with a passion for action combat and Jeet Kune Do.

No ordinary face - she is best known for her standout role in NHK’s The Ghost Writer’s Wife (Bake Bake), opposite Tommy Bastow, for her work as Hanna in the film Out of Order!, alongside Tao Okamoto, Sandra Bernhard, and Luis Guzman, and as Veronica Hughes in the award-winning audio drama The Crime at Camp Ashwood (Spotify). Her additional credits include Billions (SHOWTIME), Strangers (Facebook), and the upcoming Amazon Prime show Quiz of God as Emma.

Meisha has trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and Upright Citizens Brigade and studied with renowned acting coaches Anthony Abeson, Bob Krakower, and Sharon Chatten.

Most recently, Meisha was selected by casting directors Debra Zane CSA, Cassandra Han CSA, and Sien Josephine CSA as one of only 18 actors for the From Local to Global Tokyo Workshop.

She ran NCAA D1 track and holds a mechanical engineering degree from Harvard. Her study of humanoid robotics and prosthetics informs her love for bringing characters to life, especially in the sci-fi and fantasy world.

When not on a set with her heart-warming energy and vibrant smile, she's passionate about accessibility and prison reform advocacy. She also loves hiking and hanging out with her pug nephew Louie.

I’m fluent in Japanese! はい、日本語ペラペラです！ Intersections and the human story inspire me. I have a passion for intertwining digital and physical worlds from ideas into reality. I am particularly excited by technology that pushes the limits of the human experience (Hello Sci-Fi and Fantasy!). I love working with teams who have just as much drive to make a positive impact on the world as I do.  — Meisha
