'Orphan Black' Tatiana Maslany to Appear on 'Parks and Recreation'
'Orphan Black' star Tatiana Maslany is ditching her hectic clone life momentarily for some quality time in Pawnee.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Canadian actress will guest star in two episodes of the upcoming sixth season of NBC's 'Parks and Recreation.' She will play a love interest for the character of Tom Haverford, played by Aziz Ansari.
Specifics about Maslany's character are unknown, but she will appear in the fifth and sixth episodes of the Emmy-nominated series, THR wrote.
Ansari's character is known for his comical relationships with other 'Parks and Rec' characters such as Jenny Slate's Mona Lisa and Rashida Jones' Ann Perkins, who plays Leslie's best friend.
Maslany is just one of the latest well-known guest stars slated to make an appearance in Season 6. Other actors set to appear are Henry Winkler, Kristen Bell, Heidi Klum and Lucy Lawless.
'Parks and Rec' recently made headlines when it was announced that series regulars Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe would be leaving the show in the 13th episode of Season 6.
The sixth season of 'Parks' premieres on Sept. 26 with an hour-long episode.
Maslany's upcoming guest appearance in the comedy will mark a big change from her critically acclaimed portrayal of multiple clones on BBC America's drama 'Orphan Black.' In the series, Maslany plays many clones with different personalities and accents.
Her performance on the sci-fi series garnered her a Critics Choice Award for best actress in a drama, the Young Hollywood Award for breakout actress and a TCA for individual achievement in a drama.
After this year's Emmy nominations were announced in June, many were angry that Maslany didn't receive an acting nomination. She was considered by many to be one of the biggest Emmy snubs this year.
Orphan Black was renewed in May for a 10-episode second season, which is set to premiere April 2014.
