This is Felix. He is a character from the new show ' Orphan Black', which has just ended it's first season (it has been renewed for a second). Felix is "the gay best friend" to the main character of the show. The actor who plays Felix, Jordan Gavaris, is a superb actor. I have just started to watch the first season but I have only heard good things about Orphan Black. Here is some of his best lines from season 1:

They are really close because they were adopted together, so they are practically siblings. The actor is pretty good.

I just started watching Orphan Black. I'm a sucker for Canadian shows, and this is really good.
My one complaint is that we get to see a lot of Sarah's love life, but very little of Felix's love life. I hope that will change next season.
ETA:
I've seen all the episodes now. I really like the show a lot. BUT I have a few complaints. Firstly, I feel like Felix is yet another camp character only there for laughs. I feel like the writers don't take him seriously, he's just a side character.. just a throwaway gay guy that doesn't deserve his own storyline. It sucks.
I know it's about Sarah. It's her life. I'm well aware of that. I still think they could have found a better way to include Felix more in Sarah's storyline. Maybe have him involved with someone that was connected to the clones in some way.
I don't feel like we got to see much of Felix's love life either. That's another concern I have. We see the lesbians kissing, making out, laying on the bed. We see Felix kiss ONCE during the entire show. It's yet another case of "gay PDA is bad, lesbian PDA is good". I'm sick of the double standard at display. It's hypocritical. I've seen this in so many other shows too.. it's like the writers can't or won't "go there" with the gays, while they have no problem going there with the lesbians.. lesbian sex is common on tv, gay sex is not. Wonder why? Maybe because being lesbian today is still more accepted than being gay.
I also feel like the lesbo character (Cosima) is really well liked, while Felix is not well liked at all. So unfortunately I doubt they will dedicate more screen time to Felix's love life next season. I bet the writers are gonna do some fan service, save Cosima, create lots of lesbian sex scenes, while Felix will stay a secondary character with no love life of his own. Most fans of the show are clearly lesbians, and the writers will try to satisfy the lesbian fans. Even more reason that I will probably be disappointed with Felix again next season.
It's such a shame, because I love Felix. I think he's brilliant. I think he deserves more screen time and a better storyline than what he got the first season.
The show is good, but if you want to watch gay characters, there's clearly other and better shows to watch than this one. If you're into sci-fi and don't mind watching endless lesbo scenes, this is the show for you.
Anyway, that's my review. Take it or leave it.

So I haven't really caught up with season 2 yet but apparently there's a new clone - a transgendered clone called Tony.

Yet another show where the lesbians get a love life while the resident gay male sidekick doesn't, snooze. Jordan is too talented to be wasted like this. He talks about how lonely Felix is. Yeah, maybe he's lonely because the show refuses to give him a love interest?! Isn't it funny that he's supposed to be a hustler, yet we never get to see him make out with other guys? The lesbians get to make out and have sex though, of course! It's only the gay guy who doesn't.. as usual. I'm so over this hypocritical show. Why don't they just kill Felix off, like I said Jordan deserves a better show.
