Actress and performer Candis Cayne entered the national limelight in 2007 with her popular and ground-breaking performance as Carmelita Rainer, a transgender woman, in ABC's Dirty Sexy Money. The role made Cayne the first transgender actor to portray a recurring transgender character in prime-time television and was expected to be the first of many opportunities for the talented actress and former Miss Continental.
But, Cayne admits, her prime-time stint as William Baldwin's love interest didn't quite open the floodgates as some might have hoped. That said, her recent cameo in Nip/Tuck, in addition to an upcoming role in an episode of the gay favorite Drop Dead Diva, could be signs of this trailblazer getting more due recognition from Hollywood.
