About me

Delilah Brien is a bicoastal actor pursuing musical theatre, film, and television.

Theatrically, she is a character-driven musical theatre performer with a folk, jazz, and rock sound and a strong mezzo-soprano belt. Her energy lives at the intersection of offbeat charm and emotional authenticity, often portraying witty, emotionally layered characters. With a foundation in dance and improvisation, her performances are energetic and expressive. "What do you get when you combine The Little Mermaid's Ariel and Spring Awakening's Moritz Stiefel?"

Delilah began pursuing performance in high school, appearing in four plays and musicals each year while also performing with the Varsity Dance Team and improv troupe. Wanting more theatre in her life, she joined a New York City-based theatre company, where she trained with working professionals and peers. Performing in New York and training at Broadway Dance Center and Steps further fueled her determination to pursue a career in the arts.

She will graduate in December of 2026 with a degree in Theatre from the University of Southern California's School of Dramatic Arts with a minor in Dance from the Glorya Kaufman School of Dance. As a citizen of the U.S., U.K., and Germany, she plans to perform in Los Angeles, New York, London, and beyond.

2026 Los Angeles
Breakthrough T1D Gala

Delilah had the great honor of speaking at the Breakthrough T1D Gala this year. She was asked to envision and host a community event for the youth council centered around art. Delilah planned a collaborative art piece inspired by what it means to be seen and understood. She took the contributions of the kids and created an art piece that was sold for $40,000, with all the proceeds going towards Type One Diabetes research.

Service/ Advocacy

Alongside her artistic journey, Delilah has been an advocate for Type 1 Diabetes since her diagnosis at the age of five. This experience shaped not only her unwavering discipline- but her relationship with visibility, performance and authenticity. From interviews on CBS at the age of 8, to speaking to a crowd of 700 at the JDRF Promise Ball at age 16, advocacy work has enriched her life in many ways. "Team Delilah" was created by the Brien family in 2007, and has since raised $500,000 dollars through the annual charity fundraising walk in NYC. Delilah's advocacy work has inspired her to tell truthful stories as an actor. Being a member of the JDRF Youth Council brought her from the White House to the homes of dozens of newly diagnosed kids with the goal of bringing encouragement, hope, and connection.

This inspired her to have a regular practice of serving others. She mentored young adults through Indivisible Arts's art program centered around mindfulness practices for over 5 years. And in the summer, Delilah counsels T1D kids at Camp Conrad Chinook, where she earned her "Most Devoted Counselor Award" summer 2023. Teaching a music class at Friendship Foundation, a non-profit for disabled young adults and adults, has been the highlight of this season of her life. Summer of 2026 Delilah will begin working with inclusive theatre non-profit Chickenshed NYC as a production assistant for their upcoming production of Twelfth Night. Delilah will also be working with Breakthrough T1D for their 2026 ball as a featured artist.

She proudly says, "I am an individual that is purposeful and about time and goals. I credit my Type One Diabetes to the quality that defines who I am- determination."
