Amanda Brugel
Pointe Claire in Montreal's West Island is a tiny sleepy town. People who don't understand about the place mistakenly think that it is the West Island extends westward from Montreal. It is actually it is this is not the case. West Island includes everything westward from that city Lachine. Amanda Brugel was born there however her stay in the city wasn't long. Brugel was raised in Courtice close to Oshawa, Ontario. Her first ambition was to be an expert dancer. But, a growing rate increased her height and she outgrew every dance partner she was able to have. In an article from the Toronto Star she admitted In heels I'm 6 feet 1 inch. When I outgrew my male partners I stopped. Many former dancers turn into acting. In Brugel's situation, it was the nudge of the drama instructor at her high school that pushed her in the right direction. Her teacher invited her to take part in an audition in the school's production. She auditioned and was cast as Anne of Green Gables. The show was granted a Fine Arts Talent Scholarship to attend York University's Theatre Program and graduated from the program in 2000, earning a degree of Bachelor's in Fine Arts. In the 20+ years that followed, Brugel has landed roles in more than 60 productions on both small and large screens, attracting the greatest interest when she was offered the part as Rita in the award-winning television series The Handmaid's Tale (pictured below). Brugel appeared only on rare instances in the initial season of the show The Handmaid's Tale. She was the sole Canadian actor.
