OITNB season 6: Young Carol AKA Ashley Jordyn shares how "playing someone who isn't that nice is a lot more fun"

'Orange Is the New Black' is Ashley's biggest role to date, though she did appear in an episode of 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit' in 2017.

Any normal fan of 'Orange Is The New Black' knows that most of the inmates have troubled backgrounds that landed them behind bars, but few character backstories have been as disturbing as waitresses-turned-prison rivals Barbara and Carol Denning.

Taking on the role of young sociopath Carol Denning is Ashley Jordyn, a newcomer who has been in a number of short films and even wrote and produced her own called 'The Session', which won first prize at the Montreal World Film Festival. 'Orange Is the New Black' is Ashley's biggest role to date, though she did appear in an episode of 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit' in 2017. Up next, she'll be in another short called 'Obsidian' and she'll have a role in a thriller called 'Exit 0' that's set to be released later this year, as per reports.
