Millie Bobby Brown is way more than just Eleven. Sure, Stranger Things made her a global star, but she has been consistently proving she can hold her own in every role she takes. From action-packed adventures to heartwarming dramas, she has shown that she has got serious range. Whether she is cracking codes, fighting monsters, or stepping into period drama. Brown keeps surprising fans with her talent!

If you only know Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, you are in for a fun ride. But which of her performances stands out the most? What roles truly show her skills beyond Hawkins? Here is the answer!

In NCIS, Millie Bobby Brown ditched her innocence and stepped into the shoes of Rachel Barnes, a girl with a chilling secret. In the Parental Guidance Suggested episode, she played the quiet but cunning culprit behind a shocking crime. While most kids her age were mastering spelling tests, she was working on the art of suspense. 

With her perfect American accent and ability to switch from sweet to sinister, she stole the show in just one episode!

You might have missed it, but Millie Bobby Brown once appeared on Modern Family in a quick but hilarious role. Playing Lizzie in the Closet? You'll Love It! episode, she shared a quick but memorable exchange with Manny over a stolen bike. As the show was off chasing down a creepy neighborhood drone, Brown popped in with a one-liner proving she had comedic chops long before her big Hollywood break. It was short, funny, and a glimpse of the star power she would later unleash!

Before slaying monsters, Millie Bobby Brown faced something even scarier—saving her mom’s life over the phone in a Grey’s Anatomy episode that still holds up today. In the I Feel the Earth Move episode of the classic series, she played Ruby, a lost little girl desperate for help after an earthquake left her mother badly injured. 

With no one else around, she dialed the hospital and clung to every instruction, her terror audible through the screen. It was intense, emotional, and a perfect show of Brown’s raw talent. Even in a show filled with unforgettable moments, this scene remains one of its most heart-wrenching.

Long before Millie Bobby Brown became a household name, she stepped into the world of Once Upon a Time in Wonderland as young Alice. Full of wonder and eager to share her magical adventures, she returned home only to be met with doubt from her own family. But what started as an innocent fairy tale soon took a dark twist.  Alice reappeared later—this time as a ghostly, disheveled figure, whispering chilling words and pushing her adult self toward murder. 

Even at such a young age, Brown gave a performance that hinted at the powerhouse actress she was destined to become!

Millie Bobby Brown swaps mind powers for survival skills in Damsel, where she plays Elodie, a princess who believes she is marrying a prince—until she is thrown into a cave with a fire-breathing dragon. But this was not just any dragon, it talks, holds grudges, and has been feasting on royal brides for years. With no magic or backup, Elodie must outsmart the beast in a deadly game of survival. Brown’s fierce performance steals the show, even though the movie itself got mixed reviews.  

Most teens have school drama to worry about, but in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Millie Bobby Brown’s Madison Russell has way bigger problems—like giant monsters wrecking the planet. Caught between her eco-terrorist mother and saving humanity, she plays a key role in helping Godzilla take down the deadly King Ghidorah. Between all the high-octane action, Brown's emotional acting grounds the chaos, proving she can shine even when sharing the screen with Hollywood titans.  

In Godzilla vs. Kon, Millie Bobby Brown’s Madison Russell returned, wiser and even more determined to uncover the truth behind the Titans. This time, she is all about deep conspiracy theories, breaking into secure facilities, and playing detective while the two monster kings go head-to-head. Though her role is smaller, her sharp instincts and relentless drive keep her in the action. Whether it is dragons, killers, or kaiju, one thing is clear—Brown knows how to handle a thrilling, high-stakes showdown.  

Before Stranger Things, Millie Bobby Brown took on a role far creepier than the Upside Down. In Intruders, she plays Madison O'Donnell, a young girl fighting for control of her own body—against the soul of a ruthless serial killer. Imagine a kid switching between acts of innocence and pure evil in a blink. Brown’s performance was so haunting, that critics and fans could not believe she was only ten. It was the first sign that she was not just another child actor but someone special. 

Millie Bobby Brown did not just dip her toes into movie stardom—she jumped right in. Enola Holmes introduced her alongside Sam Claflin and Henry Cavill as Sherlock’s quick-witted younger sister, a teenager who refuses to sit quietly while the world underestimates her. With quick wit and a bit of a rebel streak, she sets off to find her missing mother, outsmarting villains and dodging trouble along the way. This was not just a film—it was the start of a franchise, proving that Brown could carry a film all on her own.  

Enola was too good to be a one-time wonder, so Enola Holmes 2 brought Millie Bobby Brown back for another thrilling case. Now officially a detective herself, she is thrown into a tangled mystery that tests her skills like never before. With Henry Cavill’s Sherlock by her side and bigger dangers ahead, Millie Bobby Brown once again proved why fans adore her in this role.

With a third Enola Holmes installment on the way, Millie Bobby Brown is not slowing down anytime soon. She has transitioned from a rising star to a full-blown leading actress, from minor roles to taking over the screen, she keeps raising the bar. And with her career still soaring, there is no telling what unforgettable roles she will take on next!
