WATCH: Uzo Aduba Tells Ellen DeGeneres How Orange is the New Black Saved Her Acting Career
Orange is the New Black star Uzo Aduba is pretty much unstoppable, but she almost stopped completely.
The world loves Uzo Aduba. The Orange is the New Black star is a two-time Emmy award winner and two-time Golden Globe nominee for her role as "Crazy Eyes" - not to mention the slew of other awards she's won or been nominated for - and she's consistently a fan favorite on the show. However, Uzo wasn't always living in a world of constant (and well-deserved) acclaim. On The Ellen Show this week Uzo opened up about how she'd made up her mind to quit acting right when Orange is the New Black came into her life, and how getting cast as Crazy Eyes was an even bigger surprise. The clip is full of fun facts you'll love to know and as much Uzo adorableness as ever. Watch right here:
Uzo is once again nominated for a Golden Globe this year for her performance in Orange is the New Black. We wish her the best!
