Bree Turner(I)
- Actress
- Additional Crew
As a child, Bree spent her time traveling the country with her family
and her pro-football player father. During her teens, Turner's parents
settled in Northern California where Bree first discovered a love for
dance. In high school, she honed her talents in everything from ballet
to jazz. When she moved to Los Angeles to study dance at UCLA, she was
discovered by a dance agent and immediately landed roles as a dancer in
countless high profile films such as
My Best Friend's Wedding (1997),
She's All That (1999) and
The Big Lebowski (1998), among
others. She danced her way into high profile nationally televised award
shows and commercials, as well as major music videos with everyone from
Brian Setzer to Sugar Ray. She appeared in spots for Hyundai, Gap, Dr.
Pepper and the 2003 Budweiser spot "Top 10 of All-Time", which aired
during the Super Bowl. Before she knew it, her passion had turned into
a full fledged dancing career.
This career exposed her to countless hours on television and movie
sets, where she truly felt right at home. She caught the acting bug and
decided to turn her focus to this newfound passion. Turner credits her
dancing for the focus she put forth towards acting. She immersed
herself in the new art, studying theater at King's College in London
and enrolling in a series of acting classes with some of the best
teachers in the business.
She immediately made her mark in Hollywood as
Rob Schneider's love interest,
"Allison the Fish Girl", in the ever popular movie
Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999),
and as the snobby bouffant haired Tri-Pi "Tiffany" in
Sorority Boys (2002). She opened
the mega-hit
The Wedding Planner (2001) as
a nervous bride, alongside
Jennifer Lopez and captivated
audiences as head cheerleader "Tina Hammersmith" in the hit film
Bring It on: Again (2004).
In addition, she starred in the critically acclaimed Carsey/Werner
Oxygen Network comedy
Good Girls Don't... (2004)
as "Marjorie".
Bree has also made her mark within the independent film world including
the Sundance award-winning piece
The Quest for Length (2002),
a critically acclaimed mockumentary in which Bree played the supportive
girlfriend of a man who was on a comical quest to enlarge his penis.
Not only do critics love her performance on the big screen, but they
praise her for the work she does on stage as well.
Recently, Bree wrapped the indie comedy
The Year of Getting to Know Us (2008),
starring Jimmy Fallon and
The TV Set (2006), starring
Sigourney Weaver. She can be seen in
Firehouse Dog (2007), a story that
follows "Rexxx", Hollywood's most in-demand canine star. Turner plays
"Liz Knowles", a Hollywood film producer who is the force behind the
famous celebrity dog. Also, you can catch her in
Just My Luck (2006), a comedy
starring Lindsay Lohan about the luckiest
girl in the world who somehow loses it. Bree plays Lohan's best friend
"Dana" who helps her troubled friend try and reclaim the luck she once
had through a whirlwind of events. Bree also starred opposite
Ethan Embry in an episode of Showtime's
Masters of Horror (2005),
an anthology series directed and co-written by famed filmmaker
Don Coscarelli.
When she is not working on a film or a television show, Bree spends her
time honing her craft as an actress, working with charities and
spending time with her family and friends.
