Taryn Manning on Orange Is the New Black Role: "I'm Nothing Like" Her

Taryn Manning's Orange Is the New Black character is one among the collection' favorites, however the veteran actress says she is nothing like the girl that she portrays. 

Manning, 35, appears in the hit Netflix series as the intensely religious and illiberal inmate Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett. Doing something Pennsatucky would by no means do, the actress attended Khiel's Pride Kick-Off tournament in improve of LGBT Pride Month in New York City on Thursday night, June 26. 

"I have about five [gay best friends]," Manning told Us Weekly completely. "I think most of my friends are gay men. I'm just so drawn to [gay] guys, [gay] guys rule and that's why I'm nothing like my character on Orange Is the New Black." 

"I think some people who are small-minded associate me with that character," she persevered to Us. "There's a lot of conflict in playing her sometimes because that's so not me. She's prejudiced and so anti-gay."

However, Manning hinted that Pennsatucky is also coming round as season three is filming, adding, "Some things are changing so she might just be opening up."

The third season of Orange Is the New Black comes after the show's significantly acclaimed first season and famously hyped second season.

"There's so much excitement on set," Manning instructed Us about OITNB's certain reception. "I don't think anyone can fathom that a show is going to be a hit when you're filming the first season. I never know whether what I'm doing is going to be seen by two people or a million people. We're all so tripped out right now."
