Career

In 1996, Brooke Nevin made her first on-screen appearance in an episode of CBC Television’s talk show, ‘Jonovision’. She then appeared in the third-season premiere of ‘Goosebumps’, the 1990s television adaptation of R. L. Stine's best-selling book series of the same name. In 1998, she was cast in her first telefilm, ‘Running Wild’, as well as her first feature film ‘Short for Nothing’. Written and directed by Siona Ankrah Cameron, ‘Short for Nothing’ revolves around three women employed in the restaurant industry while harbouring their respective artistic aspirations. Nevin portrayed a character named Dawn.

From 1998 to 1999, she essayed the role of Rachel Berenson, the reckless, bold, and confident founding member of the titular group in the YTV/Nickelodeon (later Global) teen sci-fi drama series ‘Animorphs’. Despite its considerable popularity, the show was cancelled after two seasons.

Between 1999 and 2006, she made a series of guest appearances on TV shows like ‘Twice in a Lifetime’, ‘Tales from the Cryptkeeper’, ‘The Famous Jett Jackson’, ‘Haven’, ‘In a Heartbeat’, ‘Doc’, ‘Seriously Weird’, ‘Skin’, ‘Without a Trace’, ‘Charmed’, ‘Smallville’, ‘Supernatural’, and ‘My Boys’. Nevin played the recurring character Nikki Hudson in eight episodes (2004-06) of USA Network’s sci-fi drama series ‘The 4400’.

In 2006, she made her return to the big screen in the romantic comedy ‘Comeback Season’, portraying the role of Ray Liotta’s daughter. That year, she also appeared in the direct-to-video slasher film ‘I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer’, the third and final instalment of the ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ series. In the ensuing years, she has also appeared in films like ‘The Comebacks’ (2007), ‘Sherman’s Way’ (2008), ‘Archie’s Final Project’ (2009), ‘Alter Egos’ (2012), and ‘The Thinning: New World Order’ (2018). She is slated to star in the upcoming film ‘DNA Killer’ and short film ‘Power of Termination’.

Between 2008 and 2009, she played Chloe Clayton in four episodes of the CBS sitcom ‘Worst Week’ and Brooke in the web series ‘Imaginary Bitches’. For her performance as Sonja Lester in the HBO Canada (later Movie Central and The Movie Network) black comedy series ‘Call Me Fitz’, she was nominated for two Gemini Awards and a Golden Nymph Award.

She had various recurring roles in ‘CSI: Crime Scene Investigation’ (2012-15), ‘Chicago Fire’ (2013), ‘Perception’ (2014), ‘Quantum Break’ (2016), ‘Scorpion’ (2016), and ‘Carter’ (2018). She portrayed the role of analyst Julianne “Jules” Simms in ‘Breakout Kings’ (2011-12), an A&E Network show set in the same universe as the Fox series ‘Prison Break’. In the second season (2013) of the CBC Television’s police drama ‘Cracked’, she was cast as Dr. Clara Malone.
