Lachlan Watson

Lachlan Watson’s breakthrough performance in the ‘Identity Crisis’ episode of ‘Drop Dead Diva’ (2014) garnered a GLAAD Media Award in 2015 for Outstanding Individual Episode in a Series without a Regular LGBT Character. Watson cultivated a foundational dedication to classical performance, participating in over six professional and community theater productions of Shakespeare’s works while also gaining experience in costume design and makeup. A significant turning point arrived in 2018 when Watson secured the role of Theo Putnam, a transgender character, in the Netflix original series ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.’ Watson’s compelling portrayal of Theo Putnam in ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,’ which ran until 2020, received widespread acclaim and allowed them to directly contribute to the character’s development through their personal experiences as a non-binary individual. This role established Watson as a prominent voice for LGBTQ+ rights and the community, leading to their appearance in the Netflix-produced talk segment, ‘What I Wish You Knew: About Being Non-Binary,’ in 2018, further solidifying their impact as an advocate. Watson further expanded their career into voice acting in 2023, lending their distinct voice to Fang, the anthropomorphic protagonist in the critically acclaimed video game ‘Goodbye Volcano High.’ The same year, Watson appeared in the feature films ‘The Unheard’ and ‘Only the Good Survive.’ Watson’s commitment to varied and meaningful projects continued into 2024 with a role in the highly anticipated A24 film ‘Y2K.’ These ongoing projects across television, film, and interactive media demonstrate Watson’s versatility and dedication to bringing complex and resonant characters to life while remaining a significant advocate for authentic representation.
