Toronto actor, writer and producer, Kristian Bruun (Orphan Black’s Donnie Hendrix), and GC’s Steve Polyak discuss how much they both enjoy the social dynamics being made and re-made in Orphan Black. From suburban nuclear family (boring!) to the hubby (Donnie) and the wife’s gay friend (‘Acting Coach’) Felix ending up in misadventures together... What kind? Tune in and find out! Bruun essentially says, and also climbs on a little soap box regarding the changing approach to LGBT lives in television
"We’re producing a show that. . . doesn’t say one thing is better than another: ([t says] this is how the world IS; this is how the world LIVES. We’re just representing that."
But then he refuses to go into detail on what he means when they discuss the series’ action/suspense-relieving humour Donnie is a part of, divulging no more than, "There’s a little activity between Donnie and Felix."
And, a final soapbox moment: "People need to change their minds and open up to different lifestyles, and ways of living. Different ways of loving."
