When it comes to rewarding the best comedic cast on television, the SAG Awards often simply go with the biggest cast. Recent winners like “Orange is the New Black” (2014-2016), “Glee” (2009), “Desperate Housewives” (2004-2005) and “Ally McBeal” (1998) all prevailed thanks in part to having the most cast members on the voting ballot. Interestingly enough, all four of these were also hour-long dramedies, which suggests SAG voters are more apt to give the prize to large casts when they’re also in large productions.
What does this statistic mean in terms of predicting the 2018 SAG Awards? “Orange is the New Black” once again boasts the biggest comedy cast with a record-setting 45 men and women nominated for the Netflix prison series. That’s up from 37 cast members in 2016, 34 in 2015, and 40 in 2014. Of this year’s other nominated ensembles, Netflix’s “Glow” consists of 18 cast members, followed by HBO’s “Veep” at 15, ABC...

Image Source: Netflix By now, most Orange Is the New Black fans know just how different the cast looks outside of their Litchfield jumpsuits, but few of the makeunders are as jaw-dropping as the one Francesca Curran agreed to while playing "Skinhead" Helen. With her shaved head and striking face and neck tattoos, Helen has always been one of the most recognizable characters on the show, despite not being one of the leads. In the show's fifth season, however, the actress gets way more screentime than she has in past seasons, so it made us wonder: what does she look like outside of her Oitnb costume? Spoiler alert: She's Freakin' Gorgeous. Luckily Francesca's Instagram account is a veritable treasure trove of shocking before-and-after shots chronicling her transformation into the white supremacist character. Although she fully committed and shaved off all of her hair, she's not afraid to rock some pretty...

Orange Is the New Black's highly anticipated fifth season not only brings the drama but also some new and familiar faces. One of them is Ramona "Pidge" Contreras, who occasionally pops up in season four after arriving to Litchfield and joining Maria Flores's gang of Dominican inmates. Her storyline in season five is much more substantial, watching over the kidnapped guards and generally causing a ruckus with Bff Carmen "Ouija" Aziza. So, who plays Pidge in Orange Is the New Black? Actress Miriam Morales! A post shared by Johnguira Photography (@johnguira) on Mar 6, 2017 at 5:23pm Pst As you can see, Miriam looks pretty different out of her khaki Litchfield uniform (as does most of the cast!). The actress hails from NYC and studied and trained at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and with Tvi Actors Studios in Los Angeles and told Regard magazine that she wanted to...
