"Maybe we should start calling her “Orphan Multicolor.” I’m talking about Tatiana Maslany, the break-out star of BBC America’s break-out series, Orphan Black. Who? Tatiana Maslany, that’s who — and she might be the best actress you never heard of, but the one who is burning up TV by playing (so far) six different characters who don’t sound alike or dress alike. They also do not share the same hairstyles, lifestyles, personalities or foreign accents. The women inside Maslany, in fact, have nothing in common — except identical DNA. No — we’re not talking Sybil, we’re talking clones. And even though there are six different characters, Maslany has hinted she might be playing up to 10 altogether — this season alone."
