Who are Madeline Brewer’s parents?

Madeline Brewer is the daughter of Laurie and Mark Brewer. Her father, Mark Brewer, is a singer-songwriter and has been an inspiration for her. In an interview with Imagista, Madeline talked about her father and said, “I always wanted to be an actor. I have been acting since about the age of 7, not professionally or anything, just on stage. I was involved in community theater forever, pretty much every summer of my life. I really got into it because my dad was a performer; he did plays when I was younger in our hometown theater. I am a total daddy’s girl and always wanted to do whatever my dad did.”

Her parents have been supportive of her career and have encouraged her to follow her dreams. In an interview with Nylon magazine, she talked about everyone in her hometown being supportive of her career. She said, “Everyone has been really supportive. My dad is a Mormon and he has friends at church that watch the show and absolutely love it. Regardless of the racy content, it's just a good show.”

In an interview with Untitled Magazine, she talked about her childhood and her parents' contribution to her career. She said, “I’ve been a full-blown theater nerd my entire life. I did my first play when I was seven, and I just loved it. I loved being on stage; I loved playing a character, and I did accents. It felt so natural for me, and it was what I loved to do. My parents put me in community theater every single summer, so I did every play or musical that was available to me. I grew up with parents who really supported me. They got me into voice lessons, and I was in a choir. Theater was to me what sports are to some other people.”

In an interview with NJ.com, she shared details about the time she stayed with her parents during the pandemic. She said, “I went to Jersey with my parents and treated them like children for five weeks. Wouldn’t let them leave the house.” She also talked about missing her parents and her hometown. She said, “I miss the quiet of my parents’ house. I miss Endgrain Coffee in Pitman, one of my favorite places.”

But falling in love and finding the person that I want to be with for the rest of my life has made me totally reconsider the idea of having children.”

She added, “And because I've played Janine and experienced things... Not literally, but I've experienced some of the things that she's experienced, I feel more capable of taking on more hardship. She's really taught me a lot, she's made me grow up in a lot of ways." Brewer will also be playing the role of Bronte in the 5th and final season of the superhit show You.
