About Lorraine Toussaint

Lorraine Toussaint: The Actress Who Defies Convention

Lorraine Toussaint is a force to be reckoned with. Born in Trinidad and raised in Brooklyn, she has become one of the most respected actresses in Hollywood. With a career spanning over three decades, Toussaint has proven herself to be a versatile performer, equally at home in film, television, and theater.

Toussaint's breakthrough role came in 1993, when she played the tough-talking, no-nonsense prison inmate Yvonne "Vee" Parker in the hit series "Orange Is the New Black." Her performance earned her critical acclaim and a Primetime Emmy nomination. But Toussaint was no overnight success. She had been working steadily in the industry for years, honing her craft and building a reputation as a reliable and talented performer.

Toussaint's early career was marked by a series of memorable supporting roles in films such as "Breaking In" (1989), "Hudson Hawk" (1991), and "Dangerous Minds" (1995). She also appeared in a number of popular TV shows, including "Law & Order," "ER," and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation."

In recent years, Toussaint has continued to impress audiences with her range and depth as an actress. She played the role of Amelia Boynton Robinson in the critically acclaimed film "Selma" (2014), and received rave reviews for her performance as a mother struggling to keep her family together in the Netflix series "The OA" (2016).

But Toussaint's talents extend beyond acting. She is also an accomplished writer and producer, having co-created and executive produced the series "Any Day Now" (1998-2002) and "Saving Grace" (2007-2010).

Throughout her career, Toussaint has defied convention and refused to be pigeonholed. She has played a wide range of characters, from tough-talking inmates to loving mothers, and has tackled complex issues such as race, gender, and sexuality with sensitivity and nuance.

As Toussaint herself has said, "I don't want to be put in a box. I want to be able to play anything and everything." With her talent, determination, and fearlessness, there's no doubt that she will continue to do just that.
