Born in San Francisco, CA in 1972, Brannagh made her acting debut playing Louie Anderson's sister in big-screen comedy "The Wrong Guys" (1988) and two years later landed her first major role, studious daughter Katie, in interracial family sitcom "True Colors" (Fox, 1990-92).

After a supporting turn in black comedy "Life Without Dick" (2002), Brannagh added "Star Trek: Enterprise" (UPN, 2001-05), "24" (Fox, 2001-2010) and "Without a Trace" (CBS, 2002-09) to her list of guest spots, played Luke Macfarlane's dysfunctional wife Vanessa in Iraq War drama "Over There" (FX, 2005) and was cast as no-nonsense ex-cop Pamela Moran in "Army Wives" (Lifetime, 2007-2013). During her six-year spell on the military base drama Brannagh also took top billing in TV movies "Next Stop Murder" (2009) and "Mystery Girl" (2011), playing a law student who gets embroiled in a homicide plot in the former and a single mother online dater in the latter. She also starred as the object of Tony Hale's affections in romantic comedy "Not That Funny" (2012) and guested on "Criminal Minds" (CBS, 2005-), "Leverage" (TNT, 2008-2012) and "Longmire" (A&E, 2012-14). Brannagh then played a marriage counsellor who discovers her elderly father's hired help isn't all she seems in psychological thriller "The Nurse" (2014), a mother whose white water rafting trip is hijacked by three escaped convicts in TV movie "Eyewitness" (2015) and a home improvement TV star terrorised by a Moldovan village in found-footage horror comedy "They're Watching" (2016). Brannagh then played a mother suspicious of her daughter's new boyfriend in both "His Secret Past" (2016) and "The Twin" (2017), and stuck with maternal roles in Native American drama "Te Ata" (2016), adventure mystery "Left Behind: Vanished: Next Generation" (2016) and thriller "You Get Me" (2017). Brannagh ventured into the superhero world when she was cast as Gertrude Yorkes' bioengineer mother Stacey in Marvel Comics' "Runaways" (Hulu, 2017-).
