Funny enough, Samira Wiley is actually best friends with Danielle Brooks in real life! Yes, Brooks played Taystee and her character was best friends with Samira Wiley’s character, Poussey on Orange is the New Black. The two actresses went to Julliard together. While playing Poussey, Samira Wiley claimed the hardest part for her was worrying about if her German was correct. That made her more nervous than appearing naked on camera!

Ugh, who doesn’t love June’s husband, Luke? London-born O.T. Fagbenle plays Luke on The Handmaid’s Tale. He’s been all over the world throughout his life. While interviewing with RadioTimes, he explained that his family lived in countries like, Spain, Nigeria and Canada, to name a few. Fagbenle said, “We had a map and we stated choosing our favorite places.” However, we doubt he’s ever lived in a country as frightening as Gilead!
