Last week, it was revealed that Justin Chatwin is now a part of the BBC America sci-fi series Orphan Black. The Shameless star was announced as part of the cast of the critically acclaimed drama series via the show's official Twitter account. However, there were no details on what kind of character he will play. Fans were left with no choice but to wait for more Orphan Black Season 3 spoiler regarding Chatwin's character.
Well, here it is now Clone Club members. Based on the recent Orphan Black Season 3 spoiler from BBC America, Chatwin's recurring role will be like a male version of Tatiana Maslany's Sarah Manning. Only that he is on the wrong side of the law.
"Justin Chatwin joins in a recurring role as Jason Kellerman. With rugged good looks and street-smarts, Jason is a savvy drug-dealer in the guise of a charismatic businessman," the BBC America press release for Orphan Black Season 3 said.
It is not just Chatwin that fans will welcome to Orphan Black's third season. On the same press release, it was revealed that Intruders star James Frain and Ksenia Solo from the movie Black Swan are also set to beef up the cast. Frain will play Ferdinand, "a well-educated, "cleaner" who is both charming and intimidating. Ferdinand is a powerful player in a secretive, multi-national political faction that operates with questionable ethics and a ruthless approach."
Solo, on the other hand, will star as "Shay, a soulful and compassionate holistic healer with a great sense of humor destined to become a new friend to Cosima Niehaus (Tatiana Maslany)."
Also in the mix for Orphan Black Season 3 is Kyra Harper (Warehouse 13) who will play Dr. Coady, a doctor and military advisor and Earl Pastko (Murdoch Mysteries) who will play Bulldog, a client of Ferdinand.
Aside from Tatiana Maslany, other guys who will reprise their roles in Orphan Black Season 3 are Jordan Gavaris, Dylan Bruce, Evelyne Brochu, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Michiel Huisman and Ari Millen whose character will expand after it was revealed in season two finale that his character Mark is one product of male clones.
