Her career in acting has garnered her roles on television, including Lucifer, Once Upon a Time, Rescue Me, and Jane the Virgin.

Her work in songwriting for film and television consists of The Jimmy Kimmel Show, Shameless, Animal Kingdom, and Lucy in the Sky.- Pom Klementieff (born 3 May 1986) is a French actress. She was trained at the Cours Florent drama school in Paris and has appeared in such films as Loup (2009), Sleepless Night (2011) and Hacker's Game (2015). She plays the role of Mantis in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017), Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019).
Pom Klementieff was born in Quebec City, Canada, to a Korean mother and French-Russian father, who was working there as a consul with the French government. Her grandfather was painter Eugène Klementieff. Her parents chose the name "Pom" because it is similar in pronunciation to the Korean words for both "spring" and "tiger". Klementieff lived in Canada for one year before her family traveled extensively due to her father's job. They lived in Japan and the Ivory Coast, before settling in France.
Klementieff's father died of cancer when she was 5, and her mother had schizophrenia and was unable to care for children, so Klementieff was raised by her paternal uncle and aunt. Her uncle, whom she described as "like [her] second father", died on her 18th birthday, and her older brother committed suicide just seven years later, this time on her 25th birthday. Klementieff briefly attended law school after her uncle's death to appease her aunt but did not find the career path appealing. She also worked as a waitress and saleswoman in France. She started acting at age 19 at the Cours Florent drama school in Paris. A few months into her education, she won a theater competition that awarded her free classes for two years with the school's top teachers.
Klementieff's first professional acting job was the French independent film Après lui (2007), portraying the stepdaughter of the protagonist played by Catherine Deneuve. Filming for her scenes took three days. During one scene, Klementieff was supposed to push someone down a set of stairs but accidentally fell down the stairs herself, and director Gaël Morel kept that shot in the final film. Her first leading role was in Loup (2009), a French film about a tribe of reindeer herders in the Siberian mountains. During filming, Klementieff stayed in a camp, hours from the nearest village, where temperatures dropped well below zero. During filming she befriended nomads who lived there, worked with real wolves, rode reindeer, and swam with a horse in a lake.
Klementieff made her Hollywood debut in Spike Lee's Oldboy (2013), a remake of the South Korean film of the same name. She portrayed Haeng-Bok, the bodyguard of the antagonist played by Sharlto Copley. A fan of the original film, Klementieff heard about the part through Roy Lee, a producer with the remake, and took boxing lessons after learning the role involved martial arts. After showcasing her boxing skills during her audition, Lee asked her to go home and come back wearing a more feminine outfit and make-up, like her character in the film. She contributed some of her own clothes to the character's wardrobe, and trained three hours a day for two months for an on-screen fight with star Josh Brolin. Klementieff came up with the name Haeng-Bok, Korean for "happiness", herself after Lee asked her to research possible names for the character.
Klementieff moved to Los Angeles after Oldboy was filmed and began pursuing more Hollywood auditions. She continued taekwondo after the film, and has a purple belt as of the summer of 2014. Her next acting role was the film Hacker's Game (2015), in which she plays a hacker she compared to Lisbeth Salander from the novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Klementieff used her boxing skills again in the film, and due to the movie's low budget, she had to do her own make-up and choose her own wardrobe. It was her idea to dye her hair purple for the role, to which the directors first objected but later acquiesced. She joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the role of Mantis in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) and appeared in the same role in the film Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019). - Actress

After a making series of adverts, mostly as a hand or foot model, Brooke was invited to audition for the soap-opera Neighbours. She was offered a three year contract to play Anne Wilkinson and almost immediately became one of the most popular young actors in Australia. Although offered an extension to her contract at the end of the three years, Brooke chose to leave to seek other roles.
Offered a short term guest star role on the popular Police Drama Water Rats, produced in Sydney, Brooke's performances were so highly regarded her character was converted to a regular part of the series. So Brooke and her new partner moved the 400 miles to be near her new job. After two seasons on this show and a further two on a second police drama, Brooke chose to take a 18 month sabbatical from full-time acting to allow her to undertake study to improve her skills. In 2005, she was offered a role in the prestigious children's show Play School, which included her being part of the 40th anniversary celebrations for the show. She was also offered roles in three TV drama series, including her first overseas role.
Unfortunately, the period was also marked by dramas in her personal life, including the death of a favorite uncle, the divorce of her parents, domestic violence, and being caught up in the Mumbai terrorist attacks. Her existing long-term relationship ended and she returned to live in Melbourne with her mother.
She was invited to take a starring role in her first feature film Subdivision (2009).
Brooke has also acted in a number of theater productions, tele-movies and short films, panel shows and voice over work during her career. Over the last 4 years she has taken a number of jobs working behind the camera, in order to broaden her knowledge of the industry. Her latest major role being the character Matilde in the stage play Clean House, another comedy in which she played a Portuguese speaking Brazilian maid, for which both her acting talent and language skills were highly praised.
Brooke returned to Sydney in late 2010 with her partner, film editor David Gross. Since then Brooke and David have been very busy. They renovated their own apartment, got engaged and have both been involved in multiple productions. Brooke has been traveling between productions in Sydney and Melbourne, swapping between scripted dramatic scenes in the morning and ad-libbing live comedy at night.
