Daniel Maslany met with autism specialist to craft Impulse character GlobeArts

Chris Young/The Canadian Press

Maslany, who grew up in Regina and is the brother of “Orphan Black” star Tatiana Maslany, says he met with an autism specialist who works with people of all ages and specifically a lot of teen boys who are on the autism spectrum.“Really it’s a spectrum, there are so many different ways that it can manifest and show in certain people or not show,” Maslany, who lives in Toronto, said in a recent interview.

“It was a nervous tick that I had, so bringing that into Townes grounded me, and that is just one of the ways he deals with anxiety.”Story continues below advertisement Based on the novel by Steven Gould, “Impulse” season 1 was originally on the paid subscription service YouTube Red, which is now known as YouTube Premium.

Maslany shot the pilot in 2017, after an acting career that saw him heavily focused on theatre and also starring in the short-lived CBC comedy series “Four in the Morning.” His other credits include “Murdoch Mysteries.”He found there to be some similarities between “Impulse” and his sister’s former hit clone drama “Orphan Black.” For instance, both have Canadian actor Kristian Bruun in the cast, and both feature a female antihero whose unique qualities land her in dangerous situations.
