Lisa Vidal (born June 13, 1965) is an American actress of Puerto Rican ancestry best known for The Division (2001) (2001-2004), Being Mary Jane (2013-2019), and Third Watch (1999-2001).
She is married to real estate agent Jay Cohen and they have three children, two sons and one daughter. Her sisters are actresses Christina Vidal and Tanya Vidal.
Please don't confuse her with fellow actress and lookalike Rosa Blasi, although the two women did end up starring on two popular Lifetime shows at the time (whereas Vidal was on The Division, Blasi was on Strong Medicine) and are friends in real life.
Vidal is also a breast cancer survivor.
