Orphan Black became my favorite show since the day I watched the first episode.
The show is Canadian and filmed in Toronto as well. What's more surprising is that Jordan Gavaris, who plays Felix Dawkins, is also Canadian. His accent could definitely pass for a British as his delivery is so shameless. However, I love it more that it's fake.
Is his sexual orientation also fake?
Yes. And no doubt is he one of the best queer characters I have seen lately. At first I thought he must have been gay in real life, but turned out that he is not. I believe it is the atmosphere of the show itself, which has to be a little sinister and dark, that makes him look real gay despite bits of exaggerations here and there.
But I think it is pretty realistic how the show portrays Felix and Sarah's relationship. Talking on the phone, the manner they exchange words.. These subtle descriptions throughout the show indicate Jordan's observation skills and imitative prowess, which adds up to great enthusiasm. I personally like this homo character more than Justin Long from 'Zack and Miri make a Porno'.

His make-up is also well done. The slight accentuation on his lips and his well trimmed eye brows. He wears clothes that are so appropriate, another factor that gravitates you into his character. There are scenes where he exposes his ass and he also had thongs on. I could even make myself believe that his thongs were probably for the specific pants he was wearing, or other aesthetic purposes. It doesn't bother me to think it wasn't to make the show funny. Everything he does is natural which is why I love him so much.
The invaluable face he makes as an aspiring artist goes perfectly with his British accent. His choice of vocabulary, facial expression, accent are all thoroughly played out. Every bit of his character converges into perfection.
I appreciate the existence of Canada with all my heart, for giving birth to this amazing actor. I thought Micheal Cera and Jim Carrey were only ones. Now I realize Canada is a land of untapped talent.
