Brie Larson Talks Her Breakout Role in 'Short Term 12'--and Why She Loves Singing and Dancing Aug 7th 2013, 20:29, by Anne Thompson What a year Brie Larson has had. The young actress has been working at her acting since she was six--IMDb lists a remarkable 42 credits for someone who is only 23. In Sacramento, her mother, a frustrated dancer, exposed her over-achiever daughter to a ballet, music, art and the acting bug took hold. They moved to L.A. when Larson was nine. But she has also recorded and toured with an album when she was 13; her most recent film is a Bollywood musical "Basmati Blues."So singing and dancing is in her future. Larson shines in such comedies as Noah Baumbach's "Greenberg,"  "21 Jump Street," and Diablo Cody's cable series "The United States of Tara" as well as Joseph Gordon-Levitt's feature directing debut "Don Jon" and James Ponsoldt's "The Spectacular Now," which both debuted at Sundance. But her breakthrough lead role is in writer-director Destin Daniel Cretton's SXSW jury-prize winner "Short Term 12." The must-see movie, which is uplifting and moving, opens August...
