6. There is a trick to spotting Tatiana Maslany's acting double
Kathryn Alexandre, who has played Maslany's acting double for every clone scene, explains how they put the pieces together: "They basically take parts of my body and put them on her. So if we're hugging, it'll actually be my arms around her. One arm will be mine. Sometimes it's me from the waist down and her from the waist up. Sometimes it's even her fact on my body. We have to be really specific in all of our movements."
Despite the digital trickery, some fans have spotted some of the physical differences between the two actresses: "It's mostly just hands. The fans have caught on to it, because my hands are so much smaller than Tatiana's. We've had a few scenes where we've had to put our hands together, and we usually put mine half in my coat sleeve, so you think maybe there's more hand."
