Future Black History Month: Uzo Aduba's Crazy Rise as 'Crazy Eyes'
This year, we’re celebrating an extended Black History Month by highlighting a variety of rising forces who are creating history before our very eyes. Back in 2013, Uzoamaka Nwanneka Aduba—Uzo for short—was one of the first indicators that Netflix's Orange Is the New Black would be something truly special. As Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren, Aduba brings tenderness, mental health awareness and heartfelt comic relief, characterizing much of the show's main concerns in a single wonderful character.
The Orange role has also made Aduba the first performer to receive Outstanding Supporting Actress Emmys in two categories—Drama and Comedy—for one character. (She's also been nominated for a Golden Globe, taken home a trophy from the Critics' Choice Television Awards and grabbed two solo wins and two ensemble wins from the Screen Actors Guild Awards.)
