The trailer features scenes of Taylor Schilling as Piper Chapman, Uzo Adaba as Suzanne ‘Crazy Eyes’ Warren, Danielle Brooks as Tasha ‘Taystee’ Jefferson, Kate Mulgrew as Galina ‘Red’ Reznikov, Samira Wiley as Poussey Washington, and Yael Stone as Lorna Morello.
Meanwhile, Laverne Cox, who plays Sophia Burset in “Orange is the New Black,” has revealed in recent interview that there was a scene in Season 3 that really brought her to tears.
Sophia has had a major conflict with Gloria, played by Selenis Leyva, during the past season, as a result of their conflict with their respective sons.
It ended with Sophia getting assaulted in the latter episodes and eventually going to the SHU. Cox said that when she read the script that her character is going to be assaulted in her own salon, it brought her to tears.
She said that she is a lover not a fighter in real life, detailing that she was also bullied a lot when she was a kid. Rather than fight them, she would rather run away from bullies. So when the scene was presented to her by Director Uta Briesewitz, she thought that it was not really who she was so she once again ran.
Her hesitation toward the scene also had something to do with the sensitive subject matter of violence against trans people.
