How The "Orange Is The New Black" Cast Came To Beposted on Aug. 14, 2014, at 3:42 a.m.
Taylor Schilling as Piper Chapman“Piper is a complex character and there’s a real Piper, so we wanted to respect that as well. Schilling was somebody who I always had on my list, and I was desperate to get her in. She had just finished Mercy and every time I was in L.A., she was in New York, but I finally got her in. I basically chased her down because I just had a feeling.
Schilling read scenes with Polly [Maria Dizzia]. They read the BBQ scene a lot, and the bedroom scene with Larry [Jason Biggs]. Most of the audition tapes are what was in the pilot and if people are introduced in later episodes, their first scene is what was used in the audition. But Schilling came in and she just did it. That was it. I saw it and sent it to Jenji and I was like, ‘Here ya go!’ and we were done.
You look and you look and you look and finally, someone just walks in and has everything and you don’t have to look anymore. For me, a lot of it was scheduling, so it took time. And we couldn’t cast a Larry or an Alex [Prepon] before we cast a Piper. Once we had Taylor, everything fell into place.”
Laura Prepon as Alex Vause“As soon as [Prepon] came in for Piper, it wasn’t right because she would never be scared to be in prison — Prepon’s composure and her confidence, she would never be someone who would go into prison scared like Piper was, or intimidated, so she was never going to be a Piper.
But she was exactly what they wanted for Alex and they had great chemistry. Prepon read a chemistry read with Schilling, but never read on her own for Alex. They came in and they looked amazing together. They’re both really tall and gorgeous. I don’t think they’d ever met and it worked right off the bat. It wasn’t forced, they just had a natural chemistry. It was really nice. They read the flashback when Piper comes out in her underwear and does a dance and Alex is like, ‘Ooh baby,’ and then she tells her to come on her trip.
And [Alex’s] glasses are from Jenji’s brain. Prepon’s hair was black for a movie she was doing, apparently, and Jenji loved it and wanted her to keep it. She’s like, ‘No, Alex should have the black hair.’”
