Zap2it: Is it hard to reconnect to the characters at the start of a new season?
Tatiana Maslany: It's always a bit of a learning process, whenever we come back. So much has happened to these characters, so it's a matter of charting that and remembering where each of them is, trying not to be surface and skin-deep about it.
Zap2it: What's it like for you and Kristian Bruun to play the comic
"Orphan Black" scenes as Alison and Donnie?
Tatiana Maslany: Kristian is an amazing improviser and really allows me to go off as well. We enjoy each other's company a lot, and there's a lot of mutual respect there as well. It's really fun to work with him. Those characters are so rich, and there is so much there to mine as far as comedy goes. It's one of my favorite dynamics on the show.
Zap2it: How was it playing a young Helen Mirren in the movie "Woman in Gold"?
Tatiana Maslany: It was really exciting for me to watch Helen work and try to take on some of her beautiful, elegant stillness and sense of humor and intelligence and incorporate all of that into my performance. It was such an honor to be a part of that project with her. We met and chatted, and she was very keen on me making my own decisions. I had some questions, but she said, "No, make her yours, and our two versions of her will find each other in the middle."
