3 | Lauren Lopez (born March 8, 1986 in Royal Oak, Michigan) is one of the members of the group known as Creator/TeamStarkid. |
4 | |
5 | She's been in every Creator/TeamStarkid production to date except for ''Theatre/MeAndMyDick'' and ''{{Theatre/Ani}}''. She's the second-most prolific Starkid actor after Jaime Lyn Beatty. She was also in the "pre-Starkid" production ''WebVideo/LittleWhiteLie'', which, being a pre-Starkid production doesn't entirely count. |

8 | !!Tropes that apply to this actor include: |
9 | |
10 | * {{Bifauxnen}}[=/=]PrettyBoy: She plays a lot of beautiful boys. |
11 | * CreatorCouple: Although they only publicly revealed they were a romantic couple when they got engaged in 2020, Creator/LaurenLopez and Creator/JoeyRichter have been one of Starkid's most iconic couples since people started ActorShipping them eight years prior (with the pretty unsubtle hints all over their social media that they were together but keeping it an OpenSecret). |
12 | * CrossCastRole: She is best known for playing young boys. |
13 | * DawsonCasting: Said boys are usually prepubescent. (Draco Malfoy ends up staying a petite soprano [[Theatre/AVeryPotterSeniorYear into his senior year]] because he's a [[HalfHumanHybrid half-elf]].) |
14 | * DeadHorseTrope: The RunningGag about Lauren playing {{Cross Cast Role}}s has become this over time -- indeed, the LampshadeHanging role where she played George Eliot in ''WebVideo/EdgarAllanPoesMurderMysteryDinnerParty'' in 2016 as a joke about her always playing boys is the last time she's done so. |
15 | * FakeBrit: The proto-Starkid shows run by the Creator/LangBrothers had a RunningGag of Lauren playing a "tiny British lad", leading to her playing Frodo in their parody of ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' and, most famously, Draco Malfoy in ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical''. She's reprised the British accent in different contexts multiple times since. |
16 | * MsFanservice: It has been said amongst fans that Lauren and Creator/JoeWalker are conspiring to [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer make everyone bi]]. Both are known for being attractive while playing [[AttractiveBentGender either gender]]. |
17 | * RealLifeRelative: Married to Creator/JoeyRichter in RealLife -- notable because she's one of the few female Starkids from back in the day whom Joey did ''not'' have an onstage romance with. |
18 | * SheCleansUpNicely: The reaction she tends to get when she does play a femme character. |
19 | * [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Two Gals]]: Lived with Julia Albain as roommates for a while after college, and started a side project with her called ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vot_b2cuH4 The Moms]]'' (which would, many years later, indirectly lead to the creation of ''Theatre/BlackFriday''). |
20 | * TypeCasting: She is known for playing little boys. |
21 | ** PlayingAgainstType: Given her iconic portrayal of Draco Malfoy, and the dozens of male characters she plays throughout ''B@man'' and ''Twisted'', she gets this reaction every time she plays a female character. |
22 | ** {{Flanderization}}: Lauren doesn't present as that much of a {{Tomboy}} in real life, nor have the majority of the roles she's played (including many outside of Starkid productions) been cross-cast, but playing Draco has more or less cemented this as her image among fans. |
