SABRINA-BELLE DORRIEN

ACTRESS BASED IN NEW YORK AND LOS ANGELES

I was going to Chapman University and pursuing a BFA in Film Production. But in 2022, I decided to move from California to NYC because I fell in love with the Maggie Flanigan Studio. I’ve had the privilege to train under Charlie Sandlan, and thanks to him and so many other whole-hearted individuals I’ve met during the 3 Year Actor Training Program at MFS, I’ve grown into my own skin and am so grateful.

I’m drawn to characters that have a “quiet mystery” to them. I’ve been described as incredibly powerful on a stage or in front of a camera — while the characters I play are often an underdog in a script. This is my hope as an actor, to have people recognize that the characters I play have so much more than meets the eye. In doing so, I hope that others might truly see and understand those who recognize themselves in these characters. In other words, I like to stand up for the people who think they’re “small”.

Also… acting is fun!

When I’m not acting, I pretend I’m Remy from Ratatouille (getting fancy with the spices) and put my own flare on new recipes I stumble across. The only recipes I remake are my mom’s — her shrimp scampi… *chef’s kiss*.

I couldn’t tell you how to get to the grocery store, but I argue that I like to get lost on purpose — I love traveling and reconnecting with nature. 

Fun fact: My boyfriend and I rented a home for a month, in Sonora California, a city in the mountains near Yosemite, where we frequented during our stay. In Yosemite, we embarked on a one-day 15 mile hike and (somehow) live to tell the tale.
