Catherine Bruhier

Award winning actress Catherine Bruhier got her first break when she was cast in the normally Caucasian lead role in the David French play "Salt-Water Moon" opposite Eric McCormack at Theatre New Brunswick's main stage, garnering excellent reviews for her performance as Mary Snow. 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. TV work soon followed and some of Bruhier's career highlights include Elaine Besbriss on the Paul Haggis created, award winning CBS/Alliance series Due South for 4 seasons. Airing in 62 countries weekly, it rated 'top pick' on the UK's BBC network. Worki
