Lauren Cohan (born January 7, 1982) is an American-born English actress.[2][3] Cohan is known for her role as Maggie Greene in The Walking Dead. She is also known for her recurring roles on The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, and Chuck.
Early life
Cohan was born on January 7, 1982 to an American father[4] and Scottish mother.[5] Sources have listed Cohan's birthplace as Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,[2] but Cohan has stated in interviews that she was born in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.[5][5][6][7][8][9][10]
Cohan lived in Cherry Hill, New Jersey—and, for one year, Georgia[11]—during her childhood before moving to the United Kingdom when she was 13.[12] The family settled in Surrey.[citation needed] When Cohan's mother remarried, she adopted her new husband's surname, Cohan, and converted to Judaism. Cohan was also raised in her stepfather's religion, Judaism, from age 5 and had a Bat Mitzvah.[13][14] She has five younger siblings,[15] including a younger stepsister.[16] Cohan graduated from the University of Winchester, where she studied Drama and English Literature, before touring with a theatre company she co-founded at the university. Cohan then split her time and work between London and Los Angeles, California, working on several films as well as some non-commercial projects.
Cohan is the subject of novelist Jacob M. Appel's essay, "She Loves Me Not," in his essay collection, Phoning Home.[17][18][19]
Career
Film
Cohan's major movie debut was the 2005 film Casanova as Sister Beatrice. In 2006, she 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. In February 2010 she was cast in Death Race 2, along with co-stars Sean Bean and Danny Trejo.[20]
Television
Cohan was cast in season three of Supernatural as Bela Talbot, a thief who procures valuable supernatural objects and sells them to very rich, very powerful people in the supernatural world. Appearing in six episodes, Bela ended up being written as too antagonistic to the lead characters, and was unsympathetic to fans of the show as a result. Partially because of the audience's dislike of the character, Bela was killed off in the penultimate episode of season three.
Cohan played the recurring character Rose, a 560-year-old vampire, in The Vampire Diaries. In 2011, she joined the television series Chuck for a handful of episodes in a recurring role playing Vivian Volkoff, a "charming, sophisticated socialite" from the United Kingdom, and the daughter of primary villain, Alexei Volkoff.

She has also guest starred on shows such as Modern Family, CSI: NY, Cold Case, Life, Archer, and The Bold and the Beautiful.
Cohan starred in a pilot for The CW called Heavenly in which she played the lead character, an attorney who teams up with an angel; however, it was not picked up as a series.
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. She was promoted to the main cast in the third season.
