Orphan Black was a great show. Strangely it wasn't the first major film/tv show set in Toronto where one person played multiple leading roles.
I think I'd also say that Orphan Black was the best I've seen it done on a TV show, and that Dead Ringers is the best I've seen it done in a movie.

I liked the ads that made it look like a romcom. It did release right before Valentineās Day, after all.

I get that it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I liked how they did this in Cloud Atlas to visualize the idea of reincarnation.

I thought about that myself but he does play Tom Lincoln with his natural accent (and comes across as a perfect asshole), almost the opposite of 6-Echo

I think I recall that and eventually the role fell to Pickens and he plays the role as if the film is a straight comedy to an extent

He was going to play a 4th character as well because that was part of the conditions set by Colombia Pictures otherwise they would refuse to fund the movie, as he was also supposed to be Maj. "King" Kong, who was eventually played by Slim Pickens
> Itās well known that Peter Sellers played three roles in the film: Group Captain Lionel Mandrake, President Merkin Muffley, and the titular character, Dr. Strangelove. But Colombia Pictures originally set a condition for Kubrick: The studio would only finance the film if Sellers played at least four roles in the movie.
> In addition to the three aforementioned characters, Sellers was originally meant to play the Air Force Major T. J. āKingā Kong, but Sellers was reluctant since the beginning. He initially voiced his concerns to Kubrick stating that he was worried about the workload and was afraid that he would not do the characterās strong Texan accent justice. Kubrick managed to convince Sellers to take on the role and even elected co-writer Terry Southern who was raised in Texas to help Sellers with his lines. But once filming started, Peter Sellers fell on set, exacerbating an injury the night before and was unable to continue with filming in the cramped cockpit set.

It's not a movie, but since I saw Orphan Black, every movie with multiple characters that I have seen before didn't achieve the same level. It set the bar too high.
Hollywood needs to come up with something like that.

Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
They weren't written nor intended to be a trilogy with any continuity but some marketing guys later glued them together in that fashion with the popular "Man with No Name" fanfiction about his three different names being fake because he's a bounty hunter. Most people like to look at them as a reverse story, with TGTBATU as the first, since he gets his poncho at the end and is generally a nicer character who then gets more ruthless as we go through the movies.
