Whiskey Cavalier: How Lauren Cohan used her bit parts as stepping stones to bigger things
Whenever we hear the name Lauren Cohan, the first image that comes to mind is the bright-eyed, southern belle by the name of Maggie Rhee, one of the main protagonists of AMC's hit series 'The Walking Dead'. So well etched is her role as the headstrong, fearless lead in TWD that is it hard shaking off her character from the real person. Cohan is all set to hit the big time with her role in upcoming ABC drama series 'Whiskey Cavalier', set to premiere on February 27.
Cohan's journey to the center of the entertainment industry was paved by smaller roles in TV series and movies, and it is a testament to her talents that she made it big more than a decade in the acting business.
Lauren began her career as Sister Beatrice in the controversial 2005 film,'Casanova', which gained notoriety because of a scene depicting oral sex, though today one wonders what the fuss was all about.
But as they say, Rome wasn't built in a day, and slowly getting recognized for bit parts on TV for her roles in 'The Bold and the Beautiful', and 'Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj', Cohan slowly began her march into the limelight.
