While Natasha Lyonne passed on playing the title role in the hit series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," she went on to land her own iconic parts on television, playing Nicky for seven seasons on "Orange is the New Black," as well as Nadia on "Russian Doll," which she created with Amy Poehler (per IMDb). The Netflix show was nominated for 13 Emmy Awards for its first season, winning three. The second season of "Russian Doll" has already been filmed, with Annie Murphy of "Schitt's Creek" joining the cast (per Variety). Lyonne and Poehler worked on the premise for the show for years, but Lyonne felt the timing was perfect for her to finally take on this role.

"I'm finally so relaxed," she told Variety. "I feel really far from strum and drang of questions about the industry and 'Is there a place for me here?' I'm thrilled to be older — I'm thrilled to be done with being a child actor or a teenage actor or a round two, comeback actor. I'm so glad there are so many battles I've done in this industry that are now over, and I think I just feel such a relief and, in an artistic community, I think I feel really, deeply moved and supported."
