Amanda Brugel
Brugel is the only Canadian in the cast of Season 1 she was rarely seen. It has been her main cast as a member since. In response to questions about her character in the show and if there are any similarities to her personal life beyond the camera, Brugel said that she had used her experience of race discrimination in relation to the way in which Marthas are treated. "I do not just apply it in her house position as Martha, but also in her personal life as Martha but, like I've said, past memories of feeling that I was being held down by circumstances because of race." I've never experienced physical abuse by anyone else due to my race. However, I've definitely had my words abused. In the series I'll employ any variety of racial slurs or racist epithets that have caused me to feel like someone has hit me. It's a feeling I employ in almost every scene because I feel like she's punched at least once in every scene."
