Orphan Black Season 2 Cast Rumors: Michelle Forbes To Join BBC America’s Hit Show, Is She On The Good Side Or The Bad Side?

After Patrick J. Adams of Suits, another high profile actress has been listed for the second season of BBC America's Orphan Black. Space, a California-based website dedicated in phenomenal programming, announced on its Facebook page that the 49-year old actress famous for her role in AMC's The Killing, is now part of the show.

#ORPHANBLACK ANNOUNCEMENT! Michelle Forbes is having a guest appearance in season 2. Here's her character description: "Marian Bowles is a powerful new player at the Dyad Institute with a birds-eye view on the war between Sarah and Rachel," the website said on the statement which comes along with a Michelle Forbes photo.

Space followed up its post by commenting a quote from Forbes regarding the casting.

"I am ecstatic to be invited to play with this extraordinary company and on such a deeply complicated, mysterious, and emotional story. I could talk to the highly intelligent show-runners and writers all day long as the issues they're tackling are vast, to say the least. It's truly original and clever, not to mention its wit delights me to no end."

 

Tatiana Maslany, Orphan Black's lead star, posted Space's announcement in her official Facebook fan page.

Meanwhile, in an interview with the Western Australian, Tatiana, known in the series as Sarah, Beth, Cosima, Elena, Rachel, Alison, and many more, revealed that her most favorite characters are the one who have rebellious sides.

"I wasn't rebellious in any way so I think I'm really drawn to characters who have that 'other thing' in them," she said.

The 28-year old Canadian actress also spoke about how she struggled before landing in Orphan Black.

"The beginning of last year I did a play in January and was really jazzed about it, it got a great reception."

"And then I went to LA for pilot season and had the most difficult time. I tried out for loads of things and thought I was right and thought I did an interesting audition or whatever, and then you don't hear anything - and it's the hardest as far as rejection goes. But I think we're kind of addicted to that high-low thing."
