AceShowbiz - Having a twin has proven to be useful for Laverne Cox's TV role. Her identical twin brother, M. Lamar, played her character Sophia on "Orange Is the New Black" in flashback scenes, when the character was still in the process of coming out as trans.
Lamar, whose main professions are composer, performer and artist, also identifies as a member of the LGBTQ community and was supportive of Laverne throughout her transition. "I love my brother so much ... in so many ways, he's been my moral compass over the years," she said of her brother. "Like, I run things by him and he's ... we're twins, so we've literally known each other our entire lives."
