Acting Career

Larson’s first screen appearance was in comedy sketches of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 1988. In those years, Brie made the stage name that she partly borrowed from a doll’s name of Kirsten Larson from an American Girl collection that she got in childhood.
Larson is a stage name. The actress believes that her real last name is hardly pronounceable and unsuitable for the acting career.
Later, Brie got the role of a younger daughter of Bob Saget’s character, Emily, on the TV show Raising Dad that wasn’t very popular. In 2003, Brie joined Beverley Mitchell in the film Right on Track by Disney Channel, and in July of the following year, she appeared in the teenage film Sleepover. Brie also played a small role in the film 13 Going on 30 in which she portrayed a school beauty queen who bullied a lead character.

The film director Leonard Abrahamson couldn’t choose between Brie, Emma Watson, Rooney Mara and a star of Divergent, Shailene Woodley for a long time, but he chose Brie whose acting in Short Term 12 impressed him. A son of Brie’s character portrayed a beginning actor, Jacob Tremblay.

Brie Larson Winning the Oscar as Best Actress
The film received wide recognition and great feedback even from notorious skeptics and cynics, and the role of Joyce brought the 26-year old actress several awards, including the Oscar for Best Actress, a Golden Globe Award, and BAFTA Award.
