Rosie O’Donnell Joins the Cast of “Orange is the New Black”? 

Date:

Rosie O’Donnell is a huge “Orange is the New Black” fan. Probably a bigger fan than you.

The actress attended the OITNB premiere and said that the series is the best female ensemble ever on TV.

O’Donnell was so much of a fan of the series that she said she would even let the writers kill her off just so she could have a cameo on the series.

When reporters asked her if she would be a guest in the new season O’Donnell said “I begged. After I saw the first two episodes, I’m like ‘Who do I call?’ Let me get knifed in a shower — someone give me a part on this.”

I’m pretty sure that if O’Donnell went to prison she would take more than your cornbread.

Orange is the New Black is produced by Tilted Productions in association with Lionsgate Television, is based on the memoir Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison written by Piper Kerman.

Producers held an open casting call in January for several roles in the movie. One of the most interesting casting notices was “SEEKING INMATES WITH SCARS, TATTOOS, UNIQUE/INTERESTING LOOKS.”
