Brie began her career acting onstage at the Jewish Community Center in Southern California.[11] She graduated from the California Institute of the Arts with a bachelor's in theater in 2005.[12] Prior to becoming a movie actress, Brie worked as a clown at birthday parties and performed in theater in California.[13] For a time, she studied at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Scotland.[14]

One of Brie's first television roles was Nina, a novice hairdresser, on Hannah Montana. She went on to star in the web series My Alibi, and was chosen for the role of Trudy Campbell in Mad Men. Since 2009, she has portrayed Annie Edison on the NBC sitcom Community.
