Inspirational People #3.

Tatiana Maslany

I did an Inspirational People post less than a week ago but I'm doing another one now. You'll see why in a minute.

I was going to start writing about Tatiana next month but seeing as Orphan Black is finally airing here on BBC Three on Friday, I've decided to do it this week instead because what better time is there? Not that it's ever a bad time to talk about her of course.

I first discovered her on Tumblr earlier this year when Orphan Black started on BBC America in March. Every single time I was on my dashboard, something from Orphan Black would pop up. One of my best friends is also a fan and was pushing me to watch it so after a while, I gave in and watched it. I loved it so much that it made it into my top five shows before the first episode was over. I became hooked and ended up finishing the entire show in one go because I simply couldn't bring myself to stop watching it.

Anyway. Getting on with it.

1) I simply cannot make a post about her without talking about how talented she is. Come on! She plays several different clones!

I adore how dedicated she is to each clone. Not only does she have playlists and dances for each one, she's created different signatures for each of them. Her dedication is outstanding. How she didn't get nominated for an Emmy, I'll never know.

2) She's upbeat. Watch any interview with her and/ or go over to her Twitter account and you'll see what I'm talking about.

3) She's great with her fans. I've read several different fan encounters with her and all of them have been extremely positive. Not only that, I've seen her reply to fans on Twitter and give them motivation when they tell her they've got something coming up.

If you're in the UK and haven't yet watched Orphan Black, I highly recommended doing so. It's going to air on BBC Three on Friday evenings at 9pm with a doube-bill but if you can't wait, the first episode is already on BBC iPlayer.

Now to decide which cake to buy for when it starts...
