Lindsay Pulsipher

A remarkably focused actress who was partial to challenging roles, Lindsay Pulsipher started her professional career with a recurring role on the drama series "Touched by an Angel" (CBS, 1994-2003) and with a lead part on the crime drama, "The Beast" (A&E, 2009) as a tough law student who dated a rookie FBI agent. She went on to star on the highly acclaimed HBO series "True Blood" (2008-14), director Alan Ball's gripping saga about residents in a small Louisiana town who lived with modern-day vampires. Unlike her character on "The Beast" who was refined to a fault, her "True Blood" character, Crystal Norris, was rough around the edges and struggling to move on from her drug-induced past. The role required Pulsipher to dig deep in order to stay true to her character's image, and paved the way for even more riveting parts for the talented actress.
