On stage, you have to exaggerate your movements and exaggerate your acting so that the people way in the back of the theater can feel and hear you. When you do that on film... it just comes off like awful overacting, like Jennifer Lawrence-level awful overacting. Stalker gay is an interesting character on "Quantico" since he has strange, stalker qualities, which makes him untrustworthy/suspect-worthy. In any case, one of the twins (or both of the twins) should have been the main character(s) of "Quantico" instead of Priyanka Chopra.

Reviews say otherwise. The black teacher lady, Priyanka and the Jew carry the show.
There's only one actress who plays the twins and how would that work? Alex was always supposed to be the main character and a mainstream black or white American before the creator and ABC roped in Priyanka as the lead and changed the script to make her character South Asian and focus around her. The twin characters were specifically supposed to be Arab Muslim supporting characters who people throw suspicion on for a second, but move on from. Alex is being framed because of her family history with the FBI. That wouldn't work with the twins' characters and the whole thing would be the Muslim angle, which I'm willing to bet Muslims would not be happy with.
