If you've watched Orphan Black, you know that the star of the show, Tatiana Maslany, is beyond talented.

Honestly, the fact that she only won an Emmy for one season of Orphan Black and not all four still boggles my mind.

When news broke in late 2020 that she'd been cast to play She-Hulk in Marvel's upcoming Disney+ series, her fans (myself included) were naturally stoked.
| tatiana maslany is going to serve as she-hulk i feel it in my bone marrow UGH she’s deserved attention since orphan black
And even though the trailer maaay have left a bit to be desired in the CGI department, I still can't wait.
So, in honor of (IMO) one of the top five actors of her generation, here are just 10 of the countless reasons you gotta love Tatiana Maslany:
1.She's a literal chameleon.

It's been nearly five years since Orphan Black (the TV series ended), and I still marvel at the fact that Tatiana Maslany was able to not only regularly play five separate characters, but also often play those characters pretending to be each other. Had I not known going into the show that it was just one person playing all those clones, I'd have assumed it was at least a pair of twins.
2.She gives credit where credit is due.

While filming Orphan Black, she always made sure people didn't forget that while she was the face of the show (and ultimately about a dozen characters), she shared the many roles with her body double, Kathryn Alexandre.
In a Q&A with the Screen Actors Guild Foundation, Tatiana said of Kathryn: "She's so amazing. She memorizes all of the lines, all of my blocking, all of her blocking, my mannerisms, my impulses; she, somehow, memorizes all of that and gives it back to me with a performance I can play off of."
3.She knows how to rollerblade.
4.She's in it for the long haul.
5.She's got a great sense of humor.
6.She's quick on her feet (and fingers).
7.She has good taste in TV.

She told Rolling Stone in 2014 that she was a Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Futurama fan growing up.
8.She's an LGBTQ ally.
9.She can keep a secret.

10.She's a humble queen.

Like I said earlier, Tatiana has a lot of fans, and those fans include none other than Sophia Bush, who got a little flustered when the two met for the first time.
"I was sweating and didn’t know what to do," Sophia told Ilana Glazer during a BuzzFeed interview. "I was like, ‘I’m not supposed to because we do the same thing for a living, but I can’t…words don’t…I’m so sorry.'
"She was like, 'I really appreciate it!'"
