'Orange Is the New Black' star Danielle Brooks (thedanieb) opens up about the legacy the Netflix favorite leaves behind OITNB
When I first auditioned in 2012, I didn’t know anything about the story aside from that it was set in a prison and they were calling it a web series. The character was named Delicious, from [Piper Kerman's] book. I was well-prepared; I read the book. The description said not to wear any makeup and that she was wearing a muumuu. I wore a long gray muumuu, braided my hair back and wore no makeup.
You were promoted to series regular for season two. But at what point did you feel secure and that Taystee was not leaving. Because all of it was so new. I was still learning what the terms meant to be a series regular, to be recurring, to be a guest star. I had been out of school 10 or 11 months [when I got the role] and I studied theater. I knew the ins and outs of theater, but not TV. And I am smart enough to know that just because you’re a series regular doesn’t mean you are going to stay.
I remember rumors going around like, "Is this going to be it? I think it’s going to be it. Jenji told me it’s going to be it." It was like that schoolgirl game of telephone. It felt like that until when we were getting closer and everyone is trying to renegotiate their contracts that it became real. But, for me, it didn’t become real until Jenji called me to say that this was the end. I knew the call was coming.
We have great producers and they were looking for me and holding my hand and very attentive to my needs, but at the end of the day, people move on quickly and sometimes quicker than the actor might move through a very difficult scene.
