Ragan (Wallake) Brooks 出生于俄亥俄州托莱多，在明尼苏达州长大，5 岁时开始从事专业模特工作。在上大学并提前一年完成商业文学学士学位后，她搬到洛杉矶从事演艺事业。她证明是成功的，在青少年肥皂剧“加利福尼亚州马里布”中以客串角色预订了她的第一次试镜。

此后，她客串出演了多部电视剧，包括《伊斯特威克》、《拉斯维加斯》、《迷人》和《夏日乐园》，以及 2003 年与哈里森·福特和乔什·哈奈特搭档的好莱坞凶案。

拉根是动物权利和收养的激烈倡导者。她目前与动物倡导者联盟广泛合作，帮助从高杀伤力的城市和县收容所拯救动物，为它们提供必要的兽医护理，并将它们安置在安全和充满爱的家中。她还将自己的时间花在了位于洛杉矶的禁止杀戮动物收容所兰格基金会和位于威斯康星州农村的特殊需要动物庇护所“生命之家”。

Born in Toledo, Ohio and raised in Minnesota, Ragan (Wallake) Brooks began modeling professionally at age five. After attending college and finishing her Bachelor of Arts degree in business a full year ahead of schedule, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. She proved a success, booking her very first audition in a guest role on teen soap "Malibu, CA."

Since then, she has guest starred in many television series including "Eastwick," "Las Vegas," "Charmed" and "Summerland," as well as the 2003 film Hollywood Homicide opposite Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett.

Ragan is a fierce advocate for animal rights and adoption. She currently works extensively with Animal Advocates Alliance to help rescue animals from high-kill city and county shelters, provide them with necessary veterinary care, and place them in safe and loving homes. She also gives her time to the Lange Foundation, a no-kill animal shelter based in Los Angeles, and Home for Life, a sanctuary for special needs animals located in rural Wisconsin.
