In 1993, Lawrence was cast as ADA Sylvia Costas on the hit police drama NYPD Blue. She stuck with the show until 1999, and subsequently moved to another...

When that series ended its run in 2001, the actress costarred on the series Wolf Lake and acted in a number of other projects, like 2004's Little Black Book, before landing another string of starring TV roles, on Hidden Palms, Line, Monk, and Privileged. Lawrence has also explored a career on Broadway, with roles in Cabaret and Chicago. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi
