ミーシャ・ブルックスは、型破りの女優で、ハーバード大学機械工学学科卒業、MIT でヒューマノイド ロボット工学、人工装具、ヒューマン インターフェイスを専攻していた。しかし、メカニカルエンジニアから転身して現在、女優とモデルとして大活。まさに才色兼備の俳優だ。米国のボストン市で生まれ育ち、子供の頃は奈良県で暮らしていたので日本語がペラペラ。小学生時代からショークワイア、ジャズ、タップ、エレキギターレッスンを始めた。音楽だけでなく大学時代は400m と 4x4 リレーのディビジョン 1 トラック選手として出場してスポーツも得意だ。経歴の半分を日本で過ごした彼女は、日本を第二の故郷と考えている。
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。
全米大ヒットの「Billions」などのテレビ番組に出演。今度、Brooke Shields、Luis Guzman、Tao Okamoto、Sandra Bernhard、Brandon Routhと一緒に近日公開予定の長編映画「Out of Order!」にも出演。

human Imagination turned reality.
Meisha is no ordinary rising face - a Harvard grad, fluent in Japanese, and a former D1 track star, Meisha is a multifaceted actress. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Harvard, with a specialty in humanoid robotics and prosthetics from MIT.
She's studied with renowned acting coaches Anthony Abeson, Lesly Kahn, Bob Krakower, and Sharon Chatten and trained at Upright Citizens Brigade. With a passion for action combat and Jeet Kune Do, Meisha loves bringing different characters to life.
Meisha's voice shines as a leading character in the award-winning audio drama podcast 'The Crime at Camp Ashwood', and a supporting role in the upcoming feature film 'Out of Order!', alongside Brooke Shields, Luis Guzman, Tao Okamoto, Sandra Bernhard, and Brandon Routh.
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
