Uzo Aduba on mothers, The Residence and making peace with mortality | Wild Card

From a young age, Uzo Aduba's parents taught her that she could do anything. That confidence has led to some iconic performances – from Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren in Orange is the New Black, to Shirley Chisholm in Mrs. America, to her lead role in the newest Shonda Rhimes production, The Residence. Uzo talks to Rachel about how motherhood shaped her and why she's made peace with mortality. WHAT IS “WILD CARD?” Part-interview, part-existential game show – this is Wild Card from NPR. Host Rachel Martin rips up the typical interview script and invites guests to play a game about life's biggest questions. Rachel takes actors, artists and thinkers on a choose-your-own-adventure conversation that lets them open up about their fears, their joys and how they've built meaning from experience – all with the help of a very special deck of cards.
