Latarsha Rose is an American film and television actress, best known for her role as Portia in the 2012 film The Hunger Games.[1][2]
Background
Rose is from Brooklyn, New York and attended Georgetown University. From the University, she performed in Theater productions for several years,[1] before being chosen to be a part of Bravo TV's The It Factor, a show which followed her and eleven other hopefuls as they "tried to make it in the entertainment business".[3]
Career
Rose had roles in shows such episodic series as Law & Order, CSI: NY, Bones, CSI: Miami, All My Children, and The Cape, as well as recurring roles in the shows Windfall and Swingtown. In 2012, after almost quitting the business, Rose was offered a role in The Hunger Games, as Portia, Peeta's stylist from the Capitol.[1] Rose also starred in the upcoming BET television series Being Mary Jane as Dr. Lisa Hudson, as Mary Jane's best friend.[2][4]
When first cast in The Hunger Games, The Hollywood Reporter in May 2011, referred to her as a "relative unknown".[5] In a 2002 article about actors, Time Magazine used her dimples as an example of how some actors might be initially cast for their physical characteristics.[6]
