Life and career
Burge was born in Hutto, Texas[1] as the youngest of six children. She attended Round Rock Christian Academy and was accepted to the University of North Texas but delayed her admission to pursue a career in acting.[2] She's also an aspiring singer and lyricist who dabbles with banjo percussion.
After appearing in a number of short films, in 2009, Burge was cast as Becky Sproles in the NBC/DirecTV drama Friday Night Lights for the fourth season until the show ended with the fifth season in 2011. According to a local interview, Burge said prior to being cast, she did not watch the series, but her lack of familiarity with the show did not limit her abilities when auditioning for the part as she was "so right on" for the role.[2]
In 2011, Burge appeared in the religious sports drama Seven Days in Utopia.[3] and appeared as Lexi Samuels in three episodes of the ABC Family drama The Lying Game.
Also in 2011, Burge appeared in the dark comedy/horror film Humans vs Zombies,[4] based on the live action role-playing game.
In 2012, Burge appeared in the family movie Cowgirls n Angels and actually performed some of the stunts on horseback.
In 2013, she appeared in another family movie My Dog Champion.
In 2013, Burge appeared in My Jerusalem's music video "Mono". She has also joined the final season of Dexter as Vince Masuka's daughter, Niki.
In 2014, Burge appeared in seven episodes of the short-lived CW science fiction romantic drama Star-Crossed.[5] In the same year, she played Dora in the Sasquach horror film Exists directed by Eduardo Sánchez.[6]
