Orange Is The New Black is one of Netflik’s greatest series to date and one of my favorite shows out right now so I was super excited, and super nervous, to interview one of the rising stars of the series, Jackie Cruz.

Cruz plays the feisty, Latina Flaca on OITNB. Known as a goth queen to her fans, she received more screen play in season 2 so we were able to discover more about her character and learn it’s more than meets the eye with Flaca.

I spoke with Jackie Cruz about the current season and the success the show received thus far. “The first season was very successful, so I knew it was going to be very successful. I mean the writing is ridiculous, I’ve been wanting to talk about it for a year already,” Cruz said.

She continued, “I knew it was going to be great. I couldn’t wait to see it myself cause when you read it, it’s completely different of how you imagine it so I knew it was going to be successful because the writer’s are brilliant.”

I later asked Cruz about the difference of working with all the ladies in season 2 versus the first time around. She said, “We’re all are really good friends now and we connected all very close in the first season but in the second season it was just, I don’t know, you just learned, I felt like it was a master class for acting because I’m with such incredible actresses and just to be on-screen with them, I just learn something new everyday just by watching them, you know I have to be on my A game all the time. I’m apart of show that’s making history.”

Jackie Cruz and I continued our conversation about the show and her favorite scenes to shoot, which was with co-star Danielle Brooks [photo above] who plays Taystee and the Valentine’s Day scene with Diane Guerrero who plays Maritza. Cruz also spilled that she starts filming for the third season of OITNB next week! So Amen to that!

Cruz is also talented in more ways than one. She has a EP currently out on iTunes called Hollywood Gypsy and she’s working on new music. Her upcoming single “I Am The Fox” will be released some time this year so be on the look out for that.
