Occupying Different Spaces
Serbian-born Nina Kiri (plays Alma) was raised in Vancouver, Canada. She’s been professionally acting for more than a decade in things like Let Her Out and Geek Charming with Modern Family‘s Sarah Hyland. Speaking to the Film Center Serbia, she spoke of her Serbian heritage, saying, “Where I come from is important to me, since it has and always will make up who I am. I have never seen myself as fully “Canadian” or fully “Serbian,” and occupying an in-between space is very familiar to me (as I think it is to many young Canadians who are first or second generation). I think it’s an advantage to have been lucky enough to travel and speak different languages, that my world has always been bigger than Canada or Serbia.”

Tragic Characters
Tragically, her Orange is the New Black character, Tricia died and it seems Madeline Brewer’s Janine on The Handmaid’s Tale, also doesn’t have great luck. This actress grew up in Pitman, New Jersey. Before she got cast in Orange is the New Black, she actually won Miss Pitman for 2010!
