Acting Career

Larson's first screen appearance was in comedy sketches of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 1988. During this time, Brie created her stage name, partly borrowing from a Kirsten Larson doll from the American Girl collection she'd received as a child.
Larson is a stage name. The actress believes that her real last name is hardly pronounceable and unsuitable for the acting career.
Later, Brie landed the role of Emily, Bob Saget's younger daughter on the short-lived TV show Raising Dad. In 2003, Brie starred alongside Beverley Mitchell in Disney Channel's Right on Track, and the following July, she appeared in the teen 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.

To land this role, Brie told the director she'd joined a volunteer program helping troubled children and teens after reading the script. Cretton was impressed. In reality, Larson had tried to join several similar organizations but was turned down. And yet the film still had great success.

In 2015, Larson played Amy Schumer's sister in the comedy Trainwreck. That same year, the actress played a lead in the drama Room based on a novel of the same name written by Emma Donoghue. Director Lenny Abrahamson had a tough choice between Brie, Emma Watson, Rooney Mara, and Divergent star Shailene Woodley, but ultimately chose Brie after being impressed by her performance in Short Term 12. Jacob Tremblay, a young up-and-coming actor, portrayed her character's son.

According to the script, a kidnapper abducted her character, 17-year-old Joyce, and since then she's been locked up in a shed in his backyard. In that shed, she gave birth to their son Jack, who remained in that room until he got a chance to escape when he was 5. The film explores the challenges Joyce and her son face adapting to the outside world.

To convincingly portray a woman isolated from the world, Brie took the bold step of experimenting on herself. She isolated herself from others for an entire month and maintained a strict diet. During filming, the actress didn't wash her face so the dirt would look authentic.
Brie Larson Winning the Oscar as Best Actress
The film earned widespread acclaim and rave reviews even from notoriously tough critics, 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. However, competition for the coveted Academy Award was fierce. Such actresses as Cate Blanchett, Saoirse Ronan, Jennifer Lawrence and Charlotte Rampling were among the Oscar nominees as well.
