'Orange Is The New Black' Star Uzo Aduba Auditions For Roles Of Piper, Alex, And Pennsatucky In Hilarious Funny Or Die Video
Could you imagine a world where Crazy Eyes isn't part of Orange is the New Black?
We couldn't either, but this heinous question is the subject of an all-new Funny or Die video, where star Uzo Aduba who plays Suzanne aka Crazy Eye's, auditions for different roles on the breakout Netflix original series.
In the video, Aduba reads for the parts of Nicky, Alex, and Piper among many others.
While we couldn't see her as anyone but Crazy Eyes, we think that her auditions for Piper, and Norma would have landed her those parts too, hands down.
Maybe the third season could be a one-woman show and have Uzo fill in all the roles. I mean they did it on the Nutty Professor, so we definitely think that Orange could pull it off.
Before diving into reading the script, Aduba does some acting warm-ups, which definitely help in her portrayals of the diverse characters.
We have to say that our favorite reenactment of hers is when she auditions for the role of Taystee, and talks about winding up naked in a junkyard with barbeque sauce on her lady parts.
Her audition for Poussey seems like more an audition to be in a rap video, which the cast director even comments on saying, "Are you doing Lil Wayne?"
Uzo's accents are spot on as well; she can channel a southern accent, a Connecticut white girl accent, and even a Russian accent for Red.
When the casting director tells her that they brought her in to read for Crazy Eye's she tells them "I didn't really connect with that character."
Watch the hilarious video above, and let us know what you think of it in the comments below.
