Candis Cayne is the first transgender actor to play a recurring transgender character on prime time television. Nunn on One talked to the sweet diva herself.

Windy City Times: Hey there. So you've got a new guest spot coming up on Drop Dead Diva.

Candis Cayne: Yes! I'm super-excited about that. They asked me to do a part on the show, and of course, I was like, "Yay"! So the creators and I went to dinner, and they talked about this character they wanted to do, and it's a law show when it comes down to it.

They wanted to kind of discuss the idea of me playing a transgendered character who was married to a woman, and then went through the transition, and so it ended up that the two women were married.
