You may not realize it, but Aya Cash has been acting professionally since 2006. Like so many actors before her, she got her start on Law & Order, and has actually appeared on three different L&O series over the years, turning up in the O.G. program in '06, working on Criminal Intent the same year, and completing the trifecta with a spot on Special Victim's Unit in '08. Cash has made several more small screen appearances in the years since, delivering a more-than-memorable turn on HBO's The Newsroom circa 2013.
That being said, we're guessing most viewers first took notice of the rising star later that same year, around the time she turned up in The Wolf of Wall Street as Janet, the hilariously outspoken assistant to Leonardo DiCaprio's debauched '90s money man Jordan Belfort. Cash's casting was no doubt a huge coup for the young actor in 2013, not just because it found her sharing the screen with the likes of DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie, and Matthew McConaughey, but because the film was helmed by none other than legendary director Martin Scorsese.
Cash brought her A-game to what was little more than a supporting role in Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street. In her limited screen time, the actor more than held her own as one of the few females in the veritable boys club at the heart of the film. She also frequently stole scenes from her expensive co-stars in a deliriously devil-may-care performance as flippant and foul-mouthed as any of her male counterparts.
