As part of Glamour Magazine's #RoleReversal initiative, a new series which features actresses performing iconic movie monologues originally delivered by males, ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK star Uzo Aduba takes on the role of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS villain HANNIBAL Lecter.

THE WIZ LIVE! star shared the performance on Twitter below:

Aduba, who once again is nominated for an Emmy this year, is best known for her role as Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren on the Netflix series "Orange Is the New Black." She recently portrayed Glinda, THE GOOD WITCH of the South, on NBC's THE WIZ LIVE!

Last year Aduba won the Emmy for guest actress in a comedy series as well as two SAG Awards - outstanding performance by a female actor in a comedy series and outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series. She was also nominated for a Golden Globe in 2014.

Before starring on television, Aduba made her Broadway debut in "Coram Boy" in 2007 followed by the hit musical revival of "Godspell" in 2011. She was nominated for a Helen Hayes Award for best supporting actress in a play for her work in the Kennedy Center/Olney Theater production of "Translations of Xhosa." Other theater credits include "Dessa Rose" at the New Repertory Theatre, "Turnado: Rumble for the Ring" at the Papermill Playhouse and "Abyssinia" at the Goodspeed Theatre.
