Just like her character on Orange Is the New Black, actress Jessica Pimentel - who plays Maria Ruiz in Netflix's prison drama - is a study in layers. While she might be most recognizable for her incredible turn in the show's fourth season, the down-to-earth Brooklynite is just as comfortable on stage singing vocals for her metal band, Alekhine's Gun, as she is on screen. POPSUGAR was lucky enough to recently sit down with her to chat all about season four, how her heritage helped her tap into Maria, and why young women should never be afraid to follow their dreams.
