Catherine
Bruhier
Introduction
Born in Belize, raised in New Brunswick Canada, Catherine Bruhier is a classically trained accomplished actress and an emerging director who began her career on stage. Her first break came when she was cast as the lead along
side Eric McCormack in the David French play Salt-Water Moon. The
two-cast member equity play ran at Theatre New Brunswick's main stage.
The play was considered untraditional casting as this was the first
time the female character was portrayed by a non-Caucasian actor. As a
result Catherine was asked to write an article in Toronto's Theatrum
Magazine on her experience as a visible minority in an untraditionally
cast role. The article entitled "Darkness Visible" was then republished
by Prentice Hall in a school text book called Play Making Magazine as
an inspirational piece for grades 7 to 9.
Bruhier went on to be known to TV viewers as Elaine Besbriss on the Paul Haggis created, award winning CBS/Alliance Atlantis series Due South. Airing in 62 countries weekly, it rated ‘top pick’ on the UK’s BBC network. Recently it has regained popularity and all 4 seasons are streaming on Netflix Canada. For the stage Catherine has performed leading roles in Canadian & US Theatres. Most recently: Playing the historical lead character of Elizabeth (Bet) Freeman in the world premiere, One Moment of Freedom at Theatre 40 in Beverly Hills, CA. Other notable theaters include: The Shaw Festival; Grand Theatre London; Factory Theatre; Theatre Passe Muraille; Theatre Aquarius; Theatre New Brunswick; Theatre Plus Toronto and in the Dora awarded production of the teen play, Carrying the Calf.
She splits her time between Toronto and Los Angeles. (for recent and upcoming Film & TV see biography)
