I watched a few days ago the Gemini. I like that scene.

Originally posted by picardythirds View Postagreed. And she was so scary, because while you knew that Amanda played both of them, there were visible differences - especially in her expressions.
Sanctuary has let us see this kind of performance as well, with the flashbacks of a younger Helen, not as jaded or experienced. Season 4 spoilers:Spoiler:The most jarring comparison I've seen would be AT vs Robin Dunne when he had to be Adam Worth in Chimera (season 4). Not that RD was all that terrible, but it makes AT's nuanced performances as AU Carter, RepliCarter, and younger!Helen all the more amazing to me.
Again, it's something I haven't found anywhere else, and why I keep coming back for more.

They're very similar, but also vastly different. And as said above, it's in the little things. The minutiae of the details AT puts into her performances is something I just haven't found anywhere else. It could be as subtle as the tilt of her head or the set of her chin, the squaring of her shoulders or the most subtle of affectations in her tone to make it smoother than her average technoramble.

The first time I noticed this ability in a big way was "entity" - boy did she creep me out. that glassy eyed look and the dead voice. I didn't know you could do that on purpose! I mean, there are actors out there that are pretty wooden but you could tell she did it on purpose because when she became Sam again there was a noticeable difference.

Because I like these pictures of AT but would rather she were wearing a shirt; I added one. That just looks classier IMHO.
