- Taylor Schilling (Piper Chapman) Taylor Schilling was relatively unknown when she was cast as the lead in Orange Is the New Black as author Piper Kerman's real-life counterpart, Piper Chapman.
- Laura Prepon (Alex Vause) Before OITNB, Laura Prepon's most famous role was as beloved girl next door Donna on the teen sitcom That '70s Show. So she shocked many seven years later with her turn as Alex Vause, Piper's drug trafficking lover who is responsible for both of their sentences at Litchfield.
- Uzo Aduba (Suzanne Warren) Before OITNB, Uzo Aduba was mostly known as a stage actress, and ironically won the part of Suzanne Warren less than an hour after deciding to give up the profession for good following a number of failed auditions.
- Natasha Lyonne (Nicky Nichols) Orange Is the New Black was a comeback of sorts for former child actor Natasha Lyonne. The star of multiple teen comedies in the '90s like American Pie, But I'm a Cheerleader, and Detroit Rock City, her career was unfortunately overshadowed by her addiction issues and brushes with the law, even though she worked steadily for several years.
Piper Chapman, a public relations executive, is sent to a women's prison for her past involvement with a drug runner. Watch the trailer and stream all seasons on Netflix, Prime Video or Apple TV.
It's been 10 years since Orange is the New Black premiered, but you don't need a prison sentence to look back at Piper, Alex, Taystee, and the rest of the show's unforgettable characters.
