So guys, I didn't expect to love Orange is the New Black as much as I did. I really enjoyed
it. You guys, your characters are very well-established now. Do you think you can maybe tell me what
it is that you like about each other's character?
Oooh, good question.
Well, I like... Well, I like... I like Alex's sort of honesty and like sort of, you know,
she's very super strong. There's no beating around the bush with her. She's like really...
She's one of these characters in television that's so... And really, it's Laura. I mean,
so strong. Just like a crazy strong personality, and it's a perfect balance to Piper's sort
of more, initially anyway, sort of subdued character. Yeah, and she's a sexy thing. I mean
man Laura just lights the screen up. Are you kidding me? She's like a... she's
a sex pot.
Thank you, and on sex pot. Larry...
Speaking of sex pots!
Larry. I think what's great about Larry is like you think he's this ordinary guy that
like everyone can totally relate to, but then he gets faced with these really intense decisions
and whether to stand by a woman who he's learning all these things about that he didn't know.
And he's just like a really, real guy that's making these decisions that a lot of people
don't agree with his decisions. And other people are like yeah, he's got to look out
for himself. So Jenji really does write these really complex characters, and I feel like
Larry... You think he's one thing, and the more you learn about him, he's actually like
a really complex dude.
Obviously, Larry isn't in jail. How do you think he would fare if he had to go into prison?
Not well, not well at all.
He'd team up with someone really quick.
-Yeah, he'd have to find... -A certain group.
He'd have to find someone to protect his butt for sure.
-Literally. -For sure.
For sure. I think, yeah. He would probably use the assets that he has, which is he's
a smart guy. He, you know, he'd probably just sort of offer up his dad's lawyer services
to some of the stronger inmates, and say hey I can help you get out early if you protect
me on the inside. That's a scenario that I've worked up in my head, but the truth is he
probably would not last the night.
And Alex, I believe, is only in four of the episodes for season two. How are you making
her memorable in those episodes?
I don't really... Well, the writers are amazing. So whatever they write, it's great. And every
time I read a script, every time I get a script, it's like Christmas morning. Like I love seeing
what's going to happen, what my character's going to do next. But honestly, I don't really
set out to be like how do I make her memorable or whatever. But my character is just awesome,
and she kind of stands out in her own way, the way that they write her. But the scenes
that I do have in season two are really great, and I'm really excited because we start shooting
season three in about three days. So I'm excited.
At least you won't be jetlagged.
If you guys could also have someone guest star in Orange is the New Black, who do you
think would be a good match?
That's tough because our show is so authentic and genuine, it's hard to have someone come
in and not be some kind of stunt casting. It would be interesting.
Yeah, I don't know. What about... I mean, gosh.
I don't know. That's a hard one. Someone was asking us what kind of cameos we were going
to have this year, and it's like... It's hard to say because it can't be someone who distracts
from the whole kind of...
Yeah, it can't be jarring. Yeah, but that being said, probably like Oprah Winfrey.
She wouldn't be distracting.
No. Yeah, I'd say Oprah.
Yeah, I think she could blend right in with us.
Let's get her on the phone. On the horn.
I would love to see that, love to see that.
I actually would love to see that too.
Yeah!
Thank you so much guys. It's been a pleasure talking to you.
