Early life
Lauren Cohan was born
on November 30, 1982 in Philadelphia and lived in Cherry Hill, New
Jersey during her childhood before moving to her mother's native
United Kingdom in her teens. Cohan's Scottish mother converted to
Judaism when Lauren Cohan
married Cohan's stepfather, and Cohan was raised in the
Jewish religion from the age
of five (Lauren Cohan had a Bat Mitzvah).[1][2] Lauren Cohan
graduated from the University of Winchester / King Alfred's College
where Lauren Cohan studied Drama and English Literature, before
touring with a theatre company Lauren Cohan co-founded at the
University. Lauren Cohan then split her time and work between London
and Los Angeles, working on several films as well as some
non-commercial projects.
Career
Film
Cohan's major movie debut was the 2005 film Casanova as Sister
Beatrice. In 2006, Lauren Cohan starred in the sequel to National
Lampoon's Van Wilder, National Lampoon's Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj
playing the role of Charlotte Higginson. Her next role was in the
2007 film Float.[3][4] In February 2010 was cast in Death Race 2,
which co-stars Sean Bean and Danny Trejo.[5]
Television
Cohan was cast in Season Three of Supernatural as Bela Talbot; a
thief, appearing in six episodes, who procures valuable supernatural
objects and sells them to very rich and possibly very powerful
people in the supernatural world. It was the head of the CW who
requested a second female lead be added to the show. To accommodate
this Kripke made the originally planned recurring character Bela, to
be a prominent character. Kripke placed her along with Katie Cassidy
who was cast as Ruby. Bela was not received well by fans due to her
conniving behavior, antagonistic self-centeredness, and consistent
nature to try to get the lead characters (the Winchester brothers)
killed. The character was written out/killed off in the penultimate
episode of Season 3.
Lauren Cohan is also known for playing the recurring character Rose,
a 500 year old vampire in The Vampire Diaries. In February, Lauren
Cohan joined the television series Chuck in a recurring role playing
Vivian Volkoff, a "charming, sophisticated socialite" from Somerset,
UK, and the daughter of primary villain, Alexei Volkoff.
Lauren Cohan has also guest starred on shows such as Modern Family,
CSI: NY, Cold Case, Life and The Bold and the Beautiful.
Lauren Cohan recently starred in a pilot for The CW called Heavenly
in which Lauren Cohan played the lead character, an attorney who
teams up with an angel; it was not picked up as a series.
Lauren Cohan was cast in the second season of the AMC television
series The Walking Dead based on the comic book series of the same
name, in the recurring role of Maggie Greene. Lauren Cohan will
return for the third season, being upgraded to the main cast.
