2. Tatiana Maslany
Tatiana Maslany is an actress truly taking the critical world by storm. On the cultishly beloved television program Orphan Black, she plays down on her luck British single mother Sarah Manning. And suburban housewife Alison Hendrix. And American Biology student Cosima Niehaus. And suicidal police officer Beth Childs. As well as three or four other characters that I haven't even bothered to mention yet. It's a tour de force performance that really can't be ignored for long. Soon she'll land a supporting role in an action franchise, or become one of our first female superheroes, or find herself as the headliner of a Hunger Games type film, and her position in the public eye will be cemented forever. She's doing the best acting available anywhere right now, and you can't keep that kind of real talent under a bushel.
