Specs Who Uzo Aduba Age 33 Accomplishments Stars as Suzanne “Crazy Eyes” Warren in Orange Is the New Black (Season 2 is now streaming on Netflix) Base New York What’s the first information you consume in the morning? The first information I consume in the morning is probably The New York Times and then my Twitter feed. I think Twitter is a really fascinating, easy way to stay on top of what stories are out there. What are your go-to social media platforms? Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. On Instagram, I do a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff from work—that’s what my Throwback Thursday usually is—and lately I’ve been doing a countdown to the new season of Orange. Who do you follow on Twitter? Well, I love following my cast mates. I also follow Barack Obama, Oprah, Elle magazine, BroadwayWorld.com. Which of your cast mates would you suggest following? Danielle Brooks is great. Natasha Lyonne is fantastic on Twitter. She posts hilarious pictures. I don’t even know where she finds some of them; it’ll be like a random picture of a chinchilla kissing a lion or Bill Murray and Jim Belushi out on a boat or something. Lauren Morelli, who’s a writer on our show, is also hilarious, as is our writer Marco Ramirez. What TV shows do you watch? I’m obsessed with Scandal. I love, love, love it. I’ve gotten to meet all of the cast at this point, and they’re all so, so nice. I also love House of Cards. Robin Wright is giving me the performance that my heart was aching for. What...
