Beth Dover has quickly become a recognizable figure in the entertainment industry due to her remarkable ability to bring charismatic characters to life on screen. Her undeniable comedic timing and impressive improvisational skills have made her a standout in the industry.
Currently, she can be seen co-starring on the critically acclaimed Netflix series "Orange is the New Black". Introduced in season three, Dover shines as Linda Ferguson, an administrative stickler for MCC, the private company that owns Litchfield prison. Her character also happens to be Caputo's girlfriend.
In addition to "OITNB", Dover will be reprising her role as Shari in Netflix's "Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later", a follow-up to the eight-episode limited series "Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp". The show was released on August 8, 2017.
Lastly, Dover can be seen returning to season three of Comedy Central's historical satire series "Another Period" (release date TBA). The show follows the lives of the obscenely rich Bellacourt family and their many servants in turn-of-the-century Rhode Island in 1902.
Beth Dover was born in Chicago and spent her early years moving every two years due to her family being in the military. She developed a passion for creating characters and storytelling from an early age.
Dover attended high school in Florida and went on to be a theatre major in college. She then moved to New York City where she studied Meisner. After settling in Los Angeles, she discovered improv comedy and fell in love with the craft.
In 2010, Dover landed the role of Nurse Beth on the satirical comedy TV series "Childrens Hospital" for Adult Swim. The show, starring actor/comedian Rob Corddry, parodied the medical drama genre and went on for seven seasons with Dover appearing in 20 episodes.
Dover has also appeared in several other television shows, including "Son of Zorn", "Bob's Burgers", "New Girl", "Truth Be Told", "Difficult People", "Big Time in Hollywood, FL", "Fresh Off the Boat", "Comedy Bang! Bang!", "Newsreaders", "Chasing Life", "Brooklyn Nine-Nine", "Dads", and "Whitney".
On the film front, Dover appeared in "Life Partners" for Magnolia Pictures opposite Gillian Jacobs, Leighton Meester, Gabourey Sidibe, and Adam Brody.
When not working on set, Dover is a strong supporter of Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and the HRC. For fun, she spends too much time in private karaoke rooms with friends, singing her heart out to her favorite jams. Dover currently lives in the Los Angeles area with her husband, actor Joe Lo Truglio, and their son.
