Although some sources state her birthplace as Philadelphia, Lauren has stated in numerous interviews that she was born in New Jersey. She spent her first years of childhood there and then moved to the UK when she was a teenager. Her mother is of British, Scottish and Norwegian ancestry, while her father is American. Her mother remarried when Lauren was little, took her new husband’s surname and converted to Judaism; when Lauren was five, she was also converted to the Jewish religion. Cohan graduated with a BA degree in Drama and English Literature from the University of Winchester/ King Alfred’s College, and then toured with a university theatre company which she had co-founded. However, her film debut came in 2005 when she played the role of Sister Beatrice in “Casanova”. Soon afterwards, she starred consecutively in films such as “Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj” (2006) and in “Float”(2007). Her other significant film roles include those in “Death Race 2”(2011), “Reach Me”(2014) and the supernatural-horror movie “The Boy” (2016) in which she plays the lead role.

When it comes to her career on television, she appeared in season three of the “Supernatural” TV series, playing a recurring character Rose, a 500 year-old vampire, in “The Vampire Diaries”. She then portrayed Vivian Volkoff, the primary villain’s daughter in the TV series “Chuck”, and also appeared in some other TV shows like “CSI: NY”, “Life”, “Archer”, “Modern Family” among others. Her most notable role came in 2011 when she was cast as Maggie Greene in the drama TV series “The Walking Dead”, which was the highest rated cable television series in history. She also appeared in the 2014 video game “Destiny” as Exo Stranger”. Some of her newest acting ventures include roles in films “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”(2016) and “All Eyez On Me”, an upcoming biographical drama film about the life of the rapper Tupac Shakur.

When it comes to her private life, Lauren tries to keep most of it away from public eyes. Although no relationship has been confirmed, she has been associated with her colleague from “The Walking Dead”, actor Steven Yeun. Cohan is a big fan of animals, especially dogs, and often brings her dog to sets. She currently resides in the UK.

Quote
1 I was born in Philadelphia, I lived in New Jersey for a short time, and then I moved to England, when I was a kid. And then, I recently moved to L.A. I’m American by birth, and English by accent. I grew up just outside London, in Surrey.
2 I went for the audition, which was shrouded in all kinds of secrecy to keep the storyline under wraps, and 5 days later I was in Atlanta and 700 years older.
3 A Fish Called Wanda (1988). The BEST people of the world in ONE film.
4 I’m not religious, but the tradition, the culture and the history are very important to me.
5 I really miss doing stage though, I really do. I actually prefer that, hands down to anything else and I can do it in bits and pieces but it’s not that easy to commit to a play. Life’s much easier if you can get work in TV or film so I don’t know. I’ll have a summer hiatus so maybe that’s when I can do it.
6 I have a very weak stomach for horror. I need curtains on the front windows of my house because that heightens the whole fear factor.
7 I don’t recall ever deciding to pursue a career in acting.
8 See my family, that is the most important. Otherwise, anything that involves bicycles, peaceful venues or the big wide open.
9 Sometimes you just have to chop a zombie like a melon. What can I say?
