Uzo Aduba shares details on her new dramatic role, working with Shonda Rhimes and the impact of parenthood

Actor Uzo Aduba, who stars in the new Netflix murder-mystery series, "The Residence," is opening up about the role, working with Shonda Rhimes and how her young daughter has been critical to helping her find her inner peace amid a busy life.

Aduba plays Cordelia Cupp, the best detective in the world, in "The Residence." She's called in to investigate every person at the White House after a mysterious death during a state dinner and is reluctantly paired with an FBI agent.

"I loved her quirky little behaviors," Aduba said. "She's come to cases in a way we've never seen a detective come to a case before. She's a birder, as well, so she brings some of that with her to her detective work. She's excellent at her job and she loves it."
