Emma Lahana

Emma Lahana Instagram – 2.5 yrs ago I got an audition for “detective bailey”. my character breakdown alone let me know the showrunner was special and had put together a writers room that was diverse and could really honour the stories of those who aren’t always served such justice.
not only does @jpokaski strive to fight for the underdog in his story telling but he truly cares about everyone who has the privilege to work with him. he cares and fights for us as actual human beings outside of work – (anyone in the industry can attest to the rarity of this.)
our writers shed light on injustices & educated us all on how to serve each other better in this complicated world. thank you for you bravery and vulnerability in your story telling and making these characters jump off the page. thank you for being on set with us and supporting us.
our marvel producer @mmkalltheway who we could call at any hour and would literally jump in a swamp with you to make you feel safer.
my kids
@olivia_holt – my baby sister forever. even at 4am when we were exhausted and emotionally drained you found ways to make everyone on set laugh and smile. you are a true leader. i’m grateful for not only getting a great co star but also a family member (she literally gets my dog if I die)
@aubreyomari – you made it hard sometimes to act like a tough and hardened cop when you bought so much vulnerability and authenticity to your performance. the lived experience you shared through this role was a blessing for all that got to witness it.
thank you to the entire cast and crew who worked so hard. we all knew this was something special and unique and that we were telling stories not usually seen on tv. the rawness of a black mothers grief losing her son to police violence, the horrors of human trafficking, drug abuse, the aftermath of a child witnessing her fathers abuse… these stories are hard to watch but they are real. they are usually shied away from. but not with cloak and dagger because they’re the heroes that would never turn their back on an underdog. #cloakanddagger | Posted on 26/Oct/2019 00:43:55
