27. Felix in the series Orphan Black, made by BBC America (2013-2017)

The main character Sarah Manning's gay foster brother, played by Canadian Jordan Gavaris.

He's FABULOUS in the show.

It's (finally!) on Netflix. I made a post about it (in retrospect, it's pretty long-winded lol) in the Streaming forum. https://www.democraticunderground.com/114322811

I recommend avoiding even reading Netflix's blurb about the show and just hitting play. The more that's a mystery about it going in, the cooler it is.
