Bree Michael Warner is best known for her portrayal of "Marilyn Raymer" in the Nickelodeon series iCarly. She was encouraged in the arts at an early age by her parents, both of whom performed on stage. With the inspiration of her musical theatre mother and singer-songwriter father, her own interest in performing was cultivated from the start. Originally from Cleveland, OH she ventured west to pursue her training at the highly regarded University of Southern California, earning dual degrees from both the School of Dramatic Arts, as well as, the School of Cinema-Television. As a long time Los Angeleno, now first time New Yorker, Warner's been acting for over a decade and finding herself opposite a talented bevy of cohorts, including Stephen Dorff, James Woods, and Stephen Lang in the upcoming feature film Officer Down. Playing Brogan, Dorff's Forensics partner, Warner provides the smoking gun, helps solve the crime and proves that smart women can be sexy. But it wasn't always about blood splatter marks and latex gloves, Alan Ball wrote a role for her on Six Feet Under long before Dexter was even pitched. From that famed HBO series emerged a surging momentum for Warner in the world of television. She lit up opposite Mathew Fox, went toe to toe against Jill Hennesy, and even lost herself in the arms of Anthony LaPaglia. Known for her chameleon-like qualities, she continues to give notable performances in both Television and Film and 2013 will welcome the official release of 3 feature films in which she stars. A recent revisit to the stage has also earned her acclaim from the critics for her leading performance in the Off-Broadway Production of Pulitzer Prize Nominee Lee Blessing's, Two Rooms. According to Randy Gener, former editor of American Theatre Magazine, "Warner stands out as an actor. She brings an honesty and sincerity". Paulanne Simmons, of New York Theatre Wire and Drama Desk Awards affiliate says "Ms. Warner is powerful as she falls apart and we sympathize with her every step of the way." She is represented by the bi-coastal management team at The J Arts Group.
