Actor Evolution: Dichen Lachman

◐◑◒◓◐◑◒◓◐◑◒◓
Dichen Lachman has this poise about her.  Whether she's playing a scared, timid thing or a controlling bitch, she's so graceful.  She's got a broad range from what I can tell and she likes to change up the type of character she plays.  Seems as if her niche is portraying important guest characters with multiple-episode storylines on TV.  She's been getting into movies again, but I've been TV-obsessed.  Do you recognize her?

Other Dichen Lachman projects I'd love to see:

"The Guild"-a webseries starring Felicia Day.  Obviously.

Lust for Love (2014) because it's a romantic comedy starring her and her "Dollhouse" co-star, Fran Kranz.

"Altered Carbon" because sci-fi.

Interested in more of her work?  Check out her IMDB page.
