Brittany Mariko Ishibashi (born November 2, 1980) is an American television and film actress best known for her roles as Anne Ogami on the USA Network miniseries Political Animals, and Maggie Zeddmore in the Supernatural spin-off Ghostfacers. Ishibashi portrayed Karai in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, the sequel to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Ishibashi was born and raised in Orange County, California, and comes from a family of entertainers. She is of Japanese descent. Her father, Gerald Ishibashi, is a concert promoter and musician. Her mother, Lisa Ishibashi, is a singer. Her two sisters, Brianna Ishibashi and Brooke Ishibashi, are actresses and writers. Growing up backstage with Rock and Roll Hall of Famers naturally fueled her interest in the arts, and Ishibashi discovered her passion for musical theatre at a very young age. A formally trained dancer, singer, and actress, Ishibashi is also a black belt in taekwondo.
Ishibashi's first big break came when JJ Abrams cast her in Felicity just out of high school. She continued her formal education at UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television while continuing to build her resume outside of classes. Ishibashi has been consistently working ever since, with recurring roles and guest appearances in over three dozen television shows, including The Office, Grey's Anatomy, and Supernatural. After an exciting debut at Comic-Con, Ishibashi reprised her role as Maggie Zeddmore in the Supernatural spin-off Ghostfacers, which has developed a global fan following. She has also worked on nearly two dozen films and multimedia projects, under the direction of such creatives as Joan Scheckel, Robert Redford, and Danny DeVito.
Ishibashi is probably best known for her role as Anne Ogami on USA Network's Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated series, Political Animals. Ishibashi will next be seen in the original Netflix series, Grace and Frankie, and starring in Wong Fu Productions first feature film, Everything Before Us, released June 3, 2015.
