Tatiana Maslany is back with her dozens of alter-egos on “Orphan Black” airing on BBC America. Before she became the trophy of the week, Maslany was an unknown Canadian actress just trying to hook a part. “Now I’ve experienced incredible things in acting classes where I feel like I transcended what acting can be,” she says.

Canadian actress Tatiana Maslany stars in the BBC America’s new series, “Orphan Black,” premiering March 30.
“And the way that acting reveals who we are as humans — as stupid as it sounds — I think it’s a necessary profession as far as (helping) people. . . to experience people, relationships, to fall in love. We watch movies to escape. We watch movies to learn more about ourselves, to be challenged. The films that I love are the ones where you go, ‘I don’t know what I just saw. I don’t know how I feel about it. But all I want to do is talk about it now because it stirs something up in me.’”
