Brooke Mary Gardner was born and raised on Long Island, New York. She attended Pace University, majoring in Acting for Film, Television, Voiceovers and Commercials. Additionally, she’s trained with Sheila Grey exploring sensory and improv. Her Film/TV credits include CBS, BET+ and various short films. She recently made her Broadway Debut in Ohio State Murders starring Audra McDonald!
Brooke lives with her beloved cat, ‘Willow Chaos,’ and she often forgets she’s not living an episode of Broad City. She’s a fan of horror, dark comedy, and anything created by Sean Baker. Some of her biggest influences in film are Wong Kar-Wai, Barry Jenkins, Jordan Peele, Larry Clark, Harmony Korine and Jean Luc Godard.
When she’s not acting, she enjoys shooting film photos, practicing yoga, playing mediocre tennis and eating in front of the TV. She’s also a self proclaimed meme queen/vine encyclopedia (She quotes vines on the daily).
