Amanda Brugel

Pointe Claire, a quiet area in The West Island of Montreal is what you might call a "sleepy" location. It is a bit of a mystery as the West Island can be confusing to those unfamiliar with its meaning. Many people believe that it's an island to the to the west of Montreal However, the West Island encompasses everything between the cities of Lachine and West. Amanda Brugel is said to be born on the West Island, although this isn't the truth. Brugel grew on Courtice located just outside Oshawa in Ontario. Early ambitions were to become a dancer. Then, a growth spurt caused her to outgrow every dance partner she had. She admitted in an article written by The Toronto Star that she is 6'1" tall, even when she wears heels. When I outgrew my male partners I stopped. A lot of former dancers go on to acting, and in Brugel's situation, it was a nudge from a high school drama teacher that led her in the right direction. A teacher suggested that she audition for an annual school production. She was able to audition and be cast in the role of Anne of Green Gables. When she was awarded the Fine Arts Talent Scholarship, she enrolled in York University and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in 2000. Over the past 20 years since, Brugel has been offered roles in over 60 shows on small and big screens drawing the most attention when she landed the part as Rita in the award-winning show The Handmaid's Tale (pictured below). Brugel was the sole Canadian cast member in Season 1 of the series, and only seen occasionally.
