Laverne Cox is
continuing her showbiz hot streak.
The transgender
actress, nominated for an Emmy for her performance in the comedy series Orange
is the New Black, has landed a dramatic role on Doubt, a legal pilot for CBS.
'I am so
grateful for the universe's plan for me and the amazing people in my life who
support me and that plan. Thank you so much,' Cox tweeted on Wednesday (11
February).
According to Deadline Hollywood, Cox will play 'a fierce and funny,
competitive and compassionate transgender Ivy League-educated attorney' named
Cameron Wirth.
Wirth, like
Cox, has experienced injustice first hand. This makes her fight harder for her
clients.
Cox, was graced
the cover of Time Magazine last year, recently guested on MTV's Faking It and
Bravo's Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce. She also has a role in the upcoming
feature film Grandma starring Lily Tomlin.
