“Orphan Black”: Justin Chatwin, who wooed Emmy Rossum’s Fiona on “Shameless,” is now set to join the Clone Club for “Orphan Black” Season 3. The actor has lined up a recurring role as Jason Kellerman, described by BBC America as a man with “rugged good looks and street-smarts.” He’s a “savvy drug-dealer in the guise of a charismatic businessman.” James Frain (who is known for everything – “The White Queen,” “True Blood,” and the upcoming “True Detective” Season 2), has also joined the cast as Ferdinand, “a well-educated, ‘cleaner’ who is both charming and intimidating. He’s been described as “a powerful player in a secretive, multi-national political faction that operates with questionable ethics and a ruthless approach.” Also announced on the Season 3 cast are Ksenia Solo as Shay, a new friend to Cosima, and Kyra Harper, who will play ruthless doctor and military adviser, Dr. Coady. Earl Pasoko will play Bulldog, Ferdinand’s bodyguard.
