Some of the cast members posed for Out and talked about their roles. Here’s Taylor Schilling on the Piper-Alex-Larry love triangle.
“The inner logic of it is not that complicated – you fall in love with different people at different times.”And Lea Delaria:
“In the showbiz world, if you’re like me – short hair, fat, butch, Italian, loud – you’re up against a lot of obstacles. So it’s a good idea to know how to do a lot of things…because you’re going to need all of them to pay your rent. …[Teenage boys] used to stop me on the street to spit at me. Now they come up and hug me and say, ‘Big Boo is my favorite character.’ She’s kind of like a teenage boy. So am I. A teenager in a suit.”

Ed O’Neill apparently used to have a problem with his Married with Children co-star Amanda Bearse, who is an out lesbian. In a new interview with Emmy TV Legends, he says:
“I have to say that when she started out – she was gay, of course she was gay a long time – she was more or less the female in the couple. You know, she was very, very feminine. And cute. And then, as the show – you know, 11 years it went – as it progressed, a change took place where she, then, was the more masculine of the two. You know she had several relationships over that time. And that became kind of interesting because then as she became more masculine, she became a little more snarky, you know, she could grow a tooth, as we used to say.”UM. WAT? Amanda, do you boo.
