'True Detective': Lauren Sweetser says co-star Mahershala Ali is the nicest person on the planet

Sweetser plays the role of the mysterious Isabele, alongside Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali and Stephen Dorff in the latest season of HBO's 'True Detective'

It can often be intimidating to star on a show full of critically acclaimed faces but actress Lauren Sweetser is no stranger to carving out her space in a star-studded roster. She did it in the past with the Jennifer Lawrence starrer 'Winter's Bone', where she played the intense and complex character of pregnant high school drop-out Gail Lockrum. She's now attempting to recreate that magic in HBO's 'True Detective'. 

Lauren Sweetser attends the premiere of HBO's 'True Detective' Season 3 at Directors Guild Of America on January 10, 2019 in Los Angeles, California.
