Kane is described as a highly-trained street fighter with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind. Rose wrote 7 August on Instagram that she’s “thrilled and honored” and “an emotional wreck” over the news. As a young, gay person, she never felt represented on TV.
Rose gained stardom when she was cast in season three of Netflix’s Orange is the New Black.
