Loading Laverne Cox data from Instagram. Please wait... @lavernecox : #oldheadshotday #fbf. This was circa 2007. After @candiscayne made history and became the first openly trans actor to have a recurring role on a prime time TV show I said to myself this is our time. I went and got new headshots, committed to finding an agent and making my acting dreams come true. I got an agent who is now my manager. The next year I booked by first and second episodes of Law and Order and did the pilot for Bored to Death. Thank you Candis for making me believe it was possible. #TransIsBeautiful
