TV Eh B Cs podcast (repost) – Ari Millen’s Clone con Brio

When Anthony talked to Ari Millen in September, it had just been announced that he would be the next set of clones on Orphan Black. In case you missed it, here’s their conversation that’s no “cloning” around.

Discussions about growing up in Kingston and transitioning to Toronto, how dreams of a glorious Orphan Black death led to an unexpected “splice” of life, learning by watching on set, and JUST wrapping the film Hunter’s Moon. Plus a little obligatory talk about growing up goalie and grasping for a lost Italian word… chinotto!
