Three of the main characters were the same actor, and yet there are shots with all of them in the same scene. When I saw this as a young adult I didn't even notice that Mike Myers was playing three roles and was genuinely dumbfounded years later when I found out.

How did they do those scenes so seamlessly?

If you haven't seen it, "Orphan Black" is a BBC show about a group of clones being hunted down by their creators.

One actress played about 20 different roles in the series; and there were a few scenes where all the clones were in the same room together.

Great show and a masterclass in acting.

Orphan Black was great. The most insane part was how you could tell which character was pretending to be another character even though they look the same. Tatiana Maslany did fantastic work on that show.
