Bradley Whitfort Joins Cast of WIGS' Series LAUREN

The next four episodes from season two of LAUREN, starring Troian Bellisario and Jennifer Beals, post this Friday, May 10 on WIGS (www.youtube.com/wigs).

This week, viewers are introduced to army psychologist Major Milgram, played by Bradley Whitford ("The West Wing"), who's brought in by Major Jo Stone (Beals) to psychologically evaluate Lauren (Bellisario). As Milgram breaks down Lauren's defensive walls, he learns surprising information about her assailants and their relationship with her deceased husband.

Although a fictional story, Lauren is a brutally honest portrayal of the obstacles that victims of sexual assault experience while serving in the military. The series is directed by WIGS co-creator Jon Avnet ("BLACK SWAN," "Fried Green Tomatoes," "Risky Business") and written by Writers Guild of America Award nominee Jay Rodan and Avnet. It also stars Raymond Cruz ("Major Crimes"), Sean Harmon ("NCIS"), Mykelti Williamson ("Justified," "24," "Forrest Gump") and Justine Ezarik (YouTube channel iJustine), as well as Sarah Jones ("Vegas," "Alcatraz"), who will be reprising her self-titled role as a military veteran from WIGS series KENDRA.

The final four episodes will post on May 17.
