Lauren Buglioli

Lauren Buglioli (born January 7, 1987) is an American actress whose career has spanned more than two decades, beginning in 2003 with minor appearances before blossoming into leading and supporting roles across horror, drama, and comedy. Born in Los Angeles, California, she was raised in London, an upbringing that gave her a transatlantic perspective and a versatile accent that later helped her secure diverse television work in both the United Kingdom and the United States. After returning to the U.S., Buglioli spent a decade in New York, honing her craft on stage and screen, before relocating to Atlanta where she entered the world of syndicated television, appearing in series such as Tyler Perry's Young Dylan, The Oval, Dynasty, and Queens. Her early film credits include a small part in the high‑octane thriller Unstoppable (2004) and a cameo in the blockbuster Bad Boys for Life (2020), but the breakthrough came with the lead role in the psychological horror film Transference (2020), which demonstrated her ability to convey intense emotional depth. The following year she became a prolific presence on the LMN network, starring in three separate projects—Brutal Bridesmaids, Best Friends Forever, and Secrets on Sorority Row—showcasing her range from slasher comedy to dark romance. In 2022 she headlined the horror‑comedy Courtney Gets Possessed and earned critical praise for her supporting turn in the period drama A Jazzman's Blues. 2023 saw Buglioli expand into streaming with the Netflix crime miniseries Florida Man, playing Kaitlin Fox, while also appearing in the thriller Cinnamon. By 2024 she added the sci‑fi road movie The Neon Highway, the biographical drama The Great Lillian Hall, a recurring role on Apple TV+’s Bad Monkey, and was cast as Vanessa McBride in the CBS soap Beyond the Gates, slated for a 2025 premiere. Throughout her evolving career, Buglioli has demonstrated a commitment to challenging genre work and an ability to navigate both independent and mainstream productions with equal skill.
