'Orange Is the New Black' star Laverne Cox to appear on 'Faking It'

Laverne Cox will guest star in an upcoming season-two episode of MTV’s Faking It, EW has learned exclusively.

The Emmy-nominated Orange Is the New Black star will play Margot, a Hester High alum and the director of the school’s elite drama club. Demanding, intense, and full of herself, Margot is a big fish in a small pond—in her mind, at least. While holding auditions for the drama club, Margot puts hopefuls through a ghastly series of exercises, all designed to strip them down to their cores.

Aside from the upcoming third season of OITNB, Cox will also guest-star on Bravo’s new series Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce.

Faking It returns Sept. 23 at 10:30 p.m. on MTV.
