Tatiana Maslany (birthname: Tatiana Gabriele Maslany) is a Canadian-born actor best known for her Emmy-winning leading role in the hit BBC America series, Orphan Black (2013-2017), she made her big-screen debut in Subterranean Passage (1999) and then began to appear more regularly in features around the year of 2007 when she appeared in horror movies such as the Pang Brothers’ supernatural horror entry, The Messengers (2007), produced by Sam Raimi and starring Kristen Stewart, and also George A. Romero’s Diary of the Dead (2007), starring Michelle Morgan and released by the Weinstein Company.
Maslany had a voice role in David Cronenberg’s extraordinary crime movie, Eastern Promises (2007), starring Oscar-nominated Viggo Mortensen, Naomi Watts, Vincent Cassel, and Armin Mueller-Stahl, and which was released by Focus Features (in the U.S.) after premiering to rave reviews at the Toronto Film Festival.
Maslany appeared in several Canadian-produced and direct-to-video features until landing a supporting role in the hit romantic drama, The Vow (2012), starring Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum, with Sam Neill, Scott Speedman, and Jessica Lange, and released by Screen Gems to a $196 million return (on $30 million costs). Maslany’s next notable movie was the BBC Films-backed and Simon Curtis-directed biopic, Woman in Gold (2015), starring Helen Mirren, Ryan Reynolds, Daniel Brühl, Katie Holmes, Charles Dance, Elizabeth McGovern, and Jonathan Pryce, premiering in the Berlin Film Festival and released in the U.S. by The Weinstein Company to a hefty $61.6 million return (on $11 million costs).
Maslany co-starred in Canadian indie features such as The Other Half (2016) and director/writer Kim Nguyen’s Two Lovers and a Bear (2016), which premiered in Cannes’ Directors Fortnight competition, and then Maslany co-starred with Jake Gyllenhaal in the biopic about Boston Marathon bombing victim Jeff Bauman, Stronger (2017), with Miranda Richardson, Carlos Sanz, and Clancy Brown under David Gordon Green’s direction, and which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival before a disappointing release by Lionsgate/Roadside Attractions.
Maslany then landed a co-starring role in the neo-noir drama, Destroyer (2018), starring Nicole Kidman, Toby Kebbell, Scoot McNairy, Bradley Whitford, and Sebastian Stan under Karyn Kusama’s direction, and which premiered at the Telluride Film Festival before a poor commercial release ($5.6 million return on $12.4 million costs) for Annapurna Pictures.
Maslany co-starred a few years later in two back-to-back movies with horror specialist filmmaker Osgood Perkins: The Monkey (2025), with Theo James and Elijah Wood, and Keeper (2025), with Rossif Sutherland, both of which were released by Neon. Maslany stayed in the horror genre when she starred in Green Bank (date to be announced), co-starring Jasmin Savoy Brown under Josh Ruben’s direction, and then Maslany co-starred with John Turturro, Giancarlo Esposito and Steve Buscemi in director/writer Noah Segan’s crime thriller, The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (date to be announced), produced by MRC and T-Street Productions, followed by Maslany co-starring with Marwan Kenzari in the Berlin-set rom-com, Any Other Night (date to be announced), directed by Michiel ten Horn and co-produced by Film Forge/Lemming Film/Lithium Studios.
