Biography
Lawson was born on May 23, 1980, in Klamath Falls, Oregon, to Keiko Lawson and her husband.

This was where Lawson first got into acting, as she got her first on-screen role at the age of nine, appearing as Milly McKenzie in the action-adventure film Bloodfight. By the time she became a young adult, Lawson decided to move to Los Angeles and enroll at the University of California, Los Angeles, where she would later graduate in 2010 with a degree in screenwriting. Since then, Lawson has appeared in TV shows such as The Blacklist, Dexter, Scandal, Raising Hope, Parenthood, NCIS: Los Angeles, Art of Deception, Until We Meet Again, Grey's Anatomy, Gortimer Gibbon's Life on Normal Street, Ray Donovan, and Criminal Minds.
