Katie Holmes almost took the lead role in Orange is the New Black.
The former Dawson's Creek star was approached by creator Jenji Kohan to play Piper Chapman - the bisexual drug-smuggling prisoner played by Taylor Schilling - in the Netflix drama but turned it down because she had other commitments.
Jenji told E! Online at a show event in Los Angeles: "I'm a big fan of hers. You know, I met with her."
"[Katie] had other things to do. And also in the beginning, no one knew what this was."
While she initially turned down the programme, the cast of the drama would love Katie to make a guest appearance on the show.
