In 1992, she had guest starring roles on Baywatch and Beverly Hills, 90210. After a few years, she progressed to TV movies, including Moment of Truth: A Mother's Deception (1994) and Moment of Truth: Eye of the Stalker (1995).
She made her feature debut in Terminal Velocity (1994), with a bit part.
In 1995 and 1996, Brooke was reaching a variety of mainstream television audiences. She had guest appearances on shows like Chicago Hope, The Single Guy, Party of Five, Young Indiana Jones, and Sliders.
But in 1996, Brooke had her most prominent TV role yet when she was cast as Samantha Reilly Campbell on Melrose Place; she stayed on the primetime melodrama until 1998.
Meanwhile, Brooke was expanding her range into movie roles as well. She was the object of Jon Favreau's affection in 1996's Swingers (who could forget the classic answering machine scene?), and followed up that notable performance with Listen (1996), Mixed Signals (1997), The Small Hours (1997), and Reach the Rock (1998).
Also in 1998, Brooke had her first starring role in a TV series. In The Net, based on the Sandra Bullock movie of the same name, she played the lead, Angela Bennett, a woman trying to escape from the information highway. The series never made it past one season.
In the new millennium, Brooke continued to take parts in low-profile or independent films. She was Keanu Reeves' love interest in The Replacements (2000), and appeared in Playing Mona Lisa (2000) and Kiss the Bride (2002).
In between, she tried her luck on a new TV series, Fling, in 2001; but it, like The Net, never took off. She was cast in a small role in Ang Lee's Hulk in 2003, but the part was apparently cut. Her most recent project is the indie film Partners, coming in 2005.
Brooke lives in Los Angeles with her two dogs, and when she's not walking them, she's water-skiing, snowboarding or deep-sea diving. Although she had a brief affair with George Clooney in 1999, she's now engaged to Carl Hagmier. The couple plan to marry in February 2005.
