About this listen
If you ever watched the pop culture phenomenon show "Orange Is the New Black" which ran for seven seasons on Netflix, you will remember the very colorful antagonist and later anti-hero character called Fig - who transforms from executive secretary to prison warden. Fig was expertly played by actor Alysia Reiner. who has appeared in many other movies and shows, including the film "Egg", which she both produced and starred in. While in the final season of OITNB, she opened up about what Fig means to her, the difference between playing a bad person and being one, what it means to be a character actor, how this character in such an iconic show has impacted her daughter’s future, and how she was able to find the character of Fig, so different from her true self, again and again when she returned for each new season of filming. It’s a special look behind the curtain of when a successful actor plays an iconic character on a hit TV show.
