Evigan also undertook a speech and communications degree at Los Angeles Valley College competing on the speech and debate team becoming one of the number one speakers in the country.
Having studied dance since she was 7 she landed her first major feature debut as the star of the box office hit Step Up 2: The Streets in 2008, and reprized her role in a 2014 installment of the franchise, Step Up: All In. She also played starring roles in a number of films, including Sorority Row, S. Darko, and Burning Bright. On the television front, Briana starred in Season 2 of From Dusk Till Dawn for Robert Rodriguez, Jerry Bruckheimer's pilot, Trooper, TNT's acclaimed drama Longmire, and in the indie world, starred in festival darling, ToY, and Love is All You Need? For which she received Best Actor accolades. Some other credits include She Loves Me Not, starring Cary Elwes, Mothers Day, starring Rebecca Demornay, and Rites of Passage, starring Wes Bentley and Christian Slater.
When she's not working, Briana spends much of her time traveling, with the last 8 years being dedicated to non-profit efforts in Asia and Africa. She strives to bring home stories to tell on the big screen. She has deep dived into the anti-poaching world, fighting the ivory trade and protecting South African animals and rangers. She also has worked closely with Cambodian organization, Somaly Mam, teaching and serving as a role model to young victims of sex trafficking. Most recently, Briana has ventured into producing and directing, with 3 projects in development.
Briana's first foray into the development world came following a traumatic experience where she was painfully struck by the ubiquitous mistreatment of elephants in Southeast Asia, so much so that it became unimaginable to step back into Hollywood, role playing as she once saw it. It was clear for her at that point, that her life's mission was to make use of her background, her network, and most importantly, her voice, to advocate on behalf of those without.
Over the years that followed, countless campaigns, fundraisers, speaking events, and mission trips affirmed Briana's allegiance to animal advocacy, ultimately positioning her as a global voice of authority in this space. She is most excited about her upcoming completed films, Just Below Sunset, and Love and Communication.- Monroe Cline is an American actress and dancer.
