10 Surprising Early Roles Of Orange Is The New Black Stars
5. Yael Stone - Me, Myself And I And The Farm
Yael Stone, who plays Lorna Morello, was another child actress and got her first major part when she was 14. Stone played the role of teenaged daughter Stacy in Me, Myself and I, a 1999 comedy which she costarred in with Rachel Griffiths. Then the following year she played Sam Cooper in the Australian TV series The Farm.
After that, Stone basically completely disappeared from the screen from a while, transitioning to the stage where she won Best Newcomer and Best Supporting Actress at the Sydney Theatre Awards for her role in The Kid in 2008.
She had a few supporting roles on TV over the next few years, but mostly focused on theatre, moving to New York in 2011 where she starred opposite Geoffrey Rush in Diary Of A Madman, which she said helped inspire her and convince her anything was possible.
Four months after moving to New York, she was cast on Orange Is The New Black. And you know what happened next.
