Not sure where you've seen Orange Is the New Black [2]'s newest cast member? It's probably not her acting chops in a prison jumpsuit that caught your memory but likely her voice. Vicci Martinez, who plays the role of Daddy this season, is actually an established singer-songwriter with 10 albums, two EPs, and four chart-hitting singles under her belt. As a singer, songwriter, and now actress, she's quite the triple threat.
Martinez has appeared on all the singing shows: American Idol, Star Search, and even The Voice. She worked with mentor CeeLo Green on the latter back in 2011, placing third and landing a deal with Universal Republic.

Daddy is Martinez's first major acting role in a TV series. In fact, her only other acting role is a small unnamed part in the 2008 comedy flick Limbo. It'll be interesting to see how she fits in at Litchfield after last season's jaw-dropping finale [4].
