Watch OITNB’s Big Boo School A Homophobic Subway Preacher

Dressed in a ‘Bad Jew’ t-shirt and carrying a ‘God Hates Bags’ tote, Orange Is The New Black actor Lea DeLaria – who plays Big Boo on the excellent Netflix series – was more than perfectly outfitted for a confrontation that took place overnight with an obnoxious, belligerent subway preacher (is there any other kind?) on a New York M-line subway bound for Sodom and Gomorrah. 
It’s her best performance yet.
“I walked onto the F train at W4 station and they were already yelling. And when I got off two stops later at 23rd street, they were still going. A lot of people were standing around taking videos and photos and watching. I think people weren’t sure whether it was real or staged. But a friend later confirmed that she has seen this same man preaching similar things on the subway before, so I’m pretty sure it was real.”
DeLaria, who attempted to meet the man’s madness by drowning him out with a rendition of ’99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall’, is now fielding questions and expressions of overwhelming admiration on Twitter.
