TRACE LYSETTE

The actress Trace Lysette is considered by some as one of the first trans to appear in a public with a non-trans speaking character in a primetime television program. She did this in a 2013 episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

Lysette later starred in one of the biggest programs that showcase the lives of many trans people in Transparent. Her performance in the show paved the way for her appearance in the critically-acclaimed film Hustlers alongside some of the most famous stars in Hollywood such as  Jennifer Lopez, Cardi B, Constance Wu and others. Judging from the way her career stands, it looks like she wouldn’t need to worry herself going into bankruptcy anytime soon.
