MANILA, Philippines \u2013 Lauren Young, a GMA Artist Center star, has proven to be a versatile actress as she delivers so well the relatively different roles assigned to her.<\/p>\n

In spite already receiving numerous praises, this 20-year-old beauty continues to showcase her acting skills.<\/p>\n

In 2013, Lauren signed a contract with GMA Network making her a Kapuso star. The first role assigned to her was that of Darlene Carbonel, a detestable yet pitiable kontrabida in the primetime drama series Mundo Mo\u2019y Akin.<\/p>\n

In her next role, she switched from a kontrabida to a bida in Dormitoryo, a suspense-thriller-drama where she played the role of Hazel Mendoza, a college freshman in pursuit of answers to her sister\u2019s mysterious death in the dormitory where they\u2019re staying.<\/p>\n

Her range as an actress also included acting in sci-fi dramas as she starred in Genesis and Paraiso Ko\u2019y Ikaw.<\/p>\n

Lauren later on landed a lead role in Overtime, a black comedy film where she played the role of a hacker\u2019s victim.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the characters you get to play that you\u2019re given a chance to express in certain ways. I\u2019m not like all the characters I\u2019ve played. Maybe for some, yes, but I\u2019m not entirely like them. So to be different for a few days, few months, you get to be away from who you really are. It\u2019s like a break from your real life,\u201d Lauren shared in an interview.<\/p>\n

Truly, Lauren proves that she can fit to any character. She\u2019s confident with her acting and looks to it as her passion. For her, it\u2019s not about the fame and money, it\u2019s about the craft.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m chasing after my dream and I feel like I\u2019m slowly getting there. What I do, I work hard,\u201d she adds. \u201cIf you stop thinking about the fame and money, and you focus on your craft, you\u2019ll get places. It\u2019s as simple as that. You have to be there for the right reasons and your heart should be in it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In GMA Network\u2019s newest drama series Hiram na Alaala, the viewers must surely look out for Lauren as she plays the role of Bethany Sandoval, a rich and strong-willed woman who does everything she could to keep her boyfriend from falling for another woman.<\/p>\n
