  • Lauren Cohan moved away from the United States at a time when most of us start making solid friendships and begin to figure out who we are, which made her grow up very quickly.

    I left the US when I was 10, was taken to England and popped into English Boarding School (my family scattered; sister in Switz., mother in Italy, and father back in the States). Same thing; you have to grow up FAST. I was NOT happy about it. Still ... I got 3 years of a REALLY GOOD ACADEMIC EDUCATION. I came back to America when I was 14 and was stunned by how childish my peers were. (Still stunned...). It's a GREAT training for an actress. The minute I saw your interview (all the small snippets) with Lauren Cohan (whom I had never heard of), I thought 'Oh! Hang on... there's something terribly familiar about this person...' and it's that I rarely meet anyone with my background. She is lovely! Thank you!!!

      I had a similar experience, moved to England from Australia when I was 12- went to a posh grammar school, and the environment was so different, it took me years to adapt and I never really felt comfortable, even to this day when by all appearances I have adapted, I still feel like an actor. There are so many unspoken social "rules" in England that are deeper, subtler and more complex, even at that young age.

      @@Tridentus Are you in England now? England IS incredibly complex. I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. Even though I feel comfortable in England and foreign in the States (even having lived most of my life in the US), I sometimes think that everyone feels that way (slightly insecure) in England and that much of the time, what you feel is other people's discomfort and not your own, but you pick up on it as it's the general temperature of the room (does that make sense?). Everyone in England feels 'not enough', even when terribly accomplished, no matter what they're projecting. The great thing is to REMEMBER THAT ... and try to make everyone else feel comfortable ... and then you forget about your own discomfort. (Princess Diana did that; she was terribly shy to begin with). When you have compassion for people (for their feeling insecure) you begin to relax at a really deep level and as you go on, you realize ... we are all just human.

    Aw man, I moved around when a lot around that age too, it's just so hard to come to grips with the fact that you have to grow up, especially with everything around you being so different in a new environment.
    It's funny how growing up doesn't actually necessarily need you to do that, we think it is, but sometimes those things really are the most important parts of us.

      @@hazel5634 Interesting. I think it effects people differently. I know someone who moved from the UK to Australia and after 3 months sounded like he was a native Australian. The guy was a massive tool however but I do think the Australian accent is quite contagious.

    her wiskey cavalier character was played much better 50 years ago by Diana Rigg as Emma Peel. Patrick McNee was John Steed on the Avengers
    Scott and Lauren do great job on the show , but the Avengers was what everybody copied.

      Erm, No. That's not how it works. Accents are empathetic for many people, and 13 is considered the threshold where you do or don't lose your accent in a new country because your brain is still developing. She moved from the US to UK right at that time, so she has a hybrid contextual accent. When I go back to New York from California, my inflection changes moderately when I'm around New Yorkers. You're ignorance of this fact doesn't make her a liar. Look up Gillian Anderson as one example. Same thing, she even switches depending on who she's talking to
