Did Charlotte Lawrence Take Her Father Bill Lawrence’s Help To Land Role In Bad Monkey Series? Here’s What Singer Said

As a dedicated follower of Charlotte Lawrence‘s journey, it’s truly inspiring to see her blossom from a multi-talented artist into a captivating actress. Her transformation, fueled by determination and raw talent, is a testament to the power of hard work and self-discovery.


Following numerous years spent modeling, singing, and composing songs, Charlotte Lawrence is now stepping onto the television screen for the first time with Apple TV+’s Bad Monkey, and she’s elated about overcoming her initial hesitation towards acting.

In this TV series, inspired by Carl Hiaasen’s book, Charlotte portrays Caitlin Stripling – a defiant ex-model on the path to recovery from addiction. She harbors suspicion that her stepmother was responsible for her father’s death.

In a recent chat with Decider, it was revealed that Charlotte didn’t lean on her famous father, Bill Lawrence – the renowned TV show creator behind Scrubs and Ted Lasso – when vying for the role in Bad Monkey. Instead, she auditioned independently, keeping him in the dark about her attempt to land the part.

Lawrence articulated in her interview with the media outlet that she recognizes the advantage of being Bill Lawrence’s daughter, but she’s resolute on “putting in a lot of effort” to establish herself as an actor. She disclosed that from a young age, her family always stressed the value of backing each other’s aspirations, provided they demonstrated commitment and hard work.

She shared that music held a special place in her heart from an early age, and she delighted in playing roles in musicals and dramas during her youth. Yet, as a young adult, she cultivated a fierce independence, finding herself increasingly reluctant to act, preferring to forge her own path distinct from the careers of her parents.

When discussing her passion for acting, the artist behind Jokes On You confided in Decider, “I was involved in musical theater, plays, and such as a child, but as a teenager, I harbored an immense arrogant reluctance towards acting.” Yet, she acknowledged that “the moment I dared to try it and broadened my perspective, I instantly fell head over heels for acting.”

Prior to Bad Monkey, Charlotte had attended acting workshops and collaborated with trainers to hone her craft. She appreciates the experience and is aware of the vast knowledge she still needs to acquire.

As a devoted admirer, I found myself sharing the screen with some truly exceptional talents – Meredith Hagner, Rob Delaney, and the incomparable Vince Vaughn – in Bad Monkey. To say this experience was surreal would be an understatement; it was more like waking up from a dream. After all, Vince Vaughn has been my favorite comedic actor since I was just a kid, so working alongside him felt like the ultimate validation of my lifelong fandom.

As a devotee, I’m proud to say that I’m signed with IMG Models and have graced the pages of esteemed publications such as Teen Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. Last year, in March 2018, I teamed up with Kaskade on our single Cold as Stone. Fast forward a few months to June 2018, and I unveiled my debut EP, Young. Most recently, I’m thrilled to announce my second EP, Charlotte, which dropped on March 5, 2021.

For Charlotte, embodying Caitlin was a cherished aspiration due to her fascination with the character’s intricate layers and passionate spirit. Lawrence shared this sentiment with the media, stating, “I believe that Caitlin experienced numerous hardships and had a particularly challenging upbringing and modeling career, and she is an ardent extremist – from drugs to religion and everything in between. The most enjoyable part for me was giving this character depth and developing a history for her.”

Her part in this production additionally granted her the opportunity to perform a rendition of Tom Petty’s Wildflowers for the soundtrack, further enhancing the overall experience. Charlotte is eagerly looking forward to more acting roles and delving into various genres. She views Bad Monkey as merely the start of what promises to be a flourishing on-screen career.
