North Carolina nurse lands Netflix role with no plans to give up ER day job
Briefly

Eden Lee, a 34-year-old emergency room nurse at Atrium Health Union in Monroe, North Carolina, is carving a niche in Hollywood with her role in Netflix's 'Zero Day.' Lee has always had a passion for acting, but it was often viewed as a hobby rather than a career. After becoming established in nursing and feeling unfulfilled, she decided to pursue her dream. Graduating from the University of North Carolina, she initially aimed for medical school but opted for nursing, allowing her to work directly with patients more quickly. Lee began her acting career in 2017 and has since accumulated impressive credits in both television and film.
"Acting is something I've always wanted to do ever since I was younger. It wasn't something that was particularly encouraged. It was seen as more of a hobby."
"I found my now-husband. I was feeling very fulfilled in my career, yet subsequently I felt like... something was missing."
"I realized I now have the luxury of being a grown-up and making my own choices because I make my own money and let's see what acting classes do for me."
