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.
