Bree Turner

Bree Turner was born on March 10, 1977, in Palo Alto, California, to a family that traveled frequently due to her father’s career as a professional football player. Growing up, Turner developed an interest in dance, which she pursued during her teenage years in Northern California. She trained in various dance styles, including ballet and jazz. Her passion for dance led her to Los Angeles, where she studied at UCLA. During this period, she was scouted by a dance agent and subsequently secured roles as a dancer in prominent films such as “My Best Friend’s Wedding” (1997), “She’s All That” (1999), and “The Big Lebowski” (1998).

Turner’s dance career also extended to national television, including award shows and commercials for brands like Hyundai, Gap, Dr. Pepper, and Budweiser. Her appearance in the 2003 Budweiser Super Bowl advertisement, “Top 10 of All-Time,” marked a notable achievement in her early career. Through her extensive presence on film and television sets as a dancer, Turner developed an interest in acting. She transitioned her focus to acting, enrolling in theater studies at King’s College in London and various acting classes.

Her acting career began to gain momentum with her role as “Allison the Fish Girl” in “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo” (1999). She continued to secure roles in comedies and dramas, including “The Wedding Planner” (2001), “Sorority Boys” (2002), and “Bring It On: Again” (2004). A significant career milestone was her casting in the NBC drama series “Grimm” (2011-2017), where she initially had a recurring role as Rosalee Calvert in Season 1 and was promoted to the main cast from Season 2 through Season 6, appearing in 100 episodes.
