Samira Wiley Career

Career

In the comedy film The Sitter (2011), Wiley's first major acting role was in the comedy film The Sitter (2011). In 2011, Wiley appeared in Love's Labour's Lost by The Public Theater in a theater performance.

When Orange Is the New Black, a Netflix television series based on Piper Kerman's memoir of the same name, came into existence, Wiley was told of the auditions by a friend from Juilliard, Marco Ramirez, who was a reporter for the film. Wiley was asked by Brooks to rehearse lines with her as she auditioned for the role of Poussey Washington, Brooks' on-screen best friend. Wiley's audition was ultimately fruitful; she appeared in all twelve episodes of the series's first season and was often seen throughout the second season. Wiley's character's arc, which evolved story lines, contributed to Wiley's continued screen exposure and ultimate growth as a "fan favorite." For the third season, she was promoted to a series regular. The fourth season revolves heavily around her personality, leading to the outrage within the prison over Poussey's deposition at the hands of a prison officer. Lauren Morelli, Wiley's wife, is a writer on the show.

Wiley filmed Rob the Mob (2014), an independent crime film directed by Raymond De Felitta, in between seasons of Orange Is the New Black. In 2014, she appeared in an advertisement for PayPal's digital financial services. Wiley appeared in the 21st episode of Law & Order's "Perpetutive Justice" portraying a young adult who wanted to recant her rape accusation of her father when she was 6 years old and set him free. In December 2015, Wiley was announced to play the titular character in the video game The Walking Dead: Michonne. Telltale Games introduced the game in February 2016. Minecraft: The Island: A Novel by Sheryl Benson narrated one of two Max Brooks' books, Minecraft: The Island: A Novel. Wiley also appeared in 37 (2016), a true story of thirty-seven people who witness a murder, none of whom call the police or intervene. In 2016, she appeared in a new play directed by Quiara Alegra Hudes named Daphne's Dive.

In an episode of Spike's Lip Sync Battle, she competed against New Black co-star Laverne Cox. Toni Braxton's "Un-Break My Heart" and "O.P.P." take the spotlight on the performance. Wiley, who was Naughty by Nature, was victorious.

Wiley appeared on the front page and in a magazine of the 2014 September/October issue containing "a series of bold, chic, high fashion looks." Sam Smith, Elliot Page, and Zachary Quinto were also on the front page of Out magazine in 2014.

The actresses all brandished picket signs that revealed their own union - SAG-AFTRA - supports the writers' cause.

PATRICK MARMION: Hardship has never appeared so easily borne at the National Theatre this week, where a handful of plays play off the rigours of discrimination, poverty, and displacement. Pearl Cleage's enchanting Blues For An Alabama Sky, a tribute to Harlem's musical and cultural revival during the 1930s' Great Depression. The other is The Boy With Two Hearts, an oddly saccharine saga of an Afghan family fleeing the Taliban and seeking to assist their eldest son's heart disease in the United Kingdom.
