casting announcements began in august 2012 with taylor schilling, the first to be cast, in the lead role as piper chapman, followed by jason biggs as piper's fiancé larry bloom. laura prepon and yael stone were next to join the series. abigail savage, who plays gina, and alysia reiner, who plays fig, had auditioned for role of alex vause. prepon initially auditioned for piper chapman, however kohan felt she would not worry about her [in prison], noting a "toughness and a presence to her that wasn’t right for the character." kohan instead gave her the role of alex. stone had originally auditioned for the role of nicky nichols, but she was not considered "tough enough" for the character; she was asked to audition for lorna morello instead. likability was important for morello, whom casting director jen euston deemed "a very helpful, nice, sweet italian girl." laverne cox, a black transgender woman, was cast as sophia burset, a transgender character. "the advocate" touted "orange is the new black" as possibly the first women-in-prison narrative to cast a transgender woman for this type of role. natasha lyonne was to audition for alex, but was asked to read for the character nicky nichols; "[kohan knew] she could do nicky with her eyes closed. she was perfect," said euston. uzo aduba read for the part of janae watson but was offered the character suzanne "crazy eyes" warren. taryn manning was offered the role of tiffany "pennsatucky" doggett. "this american life" host ira glass was offered a role as a public radio host, but he declined. the role instead went to robert stanton, who plays the fictional host maury kind.
