Amanda Brugel
Brugel is the only Canadian on the show's cast in Season 1, was only occasionally watched. The actress has been a cast in the series ever since. If asked about her part in the show and if there were any parallels to her own life outside the lens, Brugel revealed that she had used her experience of discrimination based on race in relation to the way Marthas are treated. "I am not content to use the same experience in her position as an Martha however, as I've mentioned, my own past moments when I'm feeling like I was being held down by circumstances because of race." My race has never led any physical injury through my entire life, but my experience with verbal abuse has been experienced. If someone says something hard or biting or smacking me, I will use any racist attacks that felt real for me. "I utilize this sensation almost in every scene, because it's as if she's receiving a punch at minimum in each scene."
