It has been confirmed. From serving time to serving subpoenas, Orange is the New Black star Laverne Cox is set to play the lead role is the new legal drama pilot, Doubt.
According to E! News, Cox will play Cameron Wirth, a transgendered Ivy League-educated defense attorney who is “fierce, funny, and the fact that she’s experienced injustice first hand make her fight all the harder for her clients.” I couldn’t imagine anyone better matched to play the role beside someone so passionate about the transgender movement as Laverne.
The question is, does she plan to hang up her orange jumpsuit? Does this mean her time on Netflix’s hit show Orange is the New Black has come to an end?
If this pilot does make it to series, Laverne Cox will be the first transgender lead in network TV history. (!!!)
