She's all that.

And when it comes to Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany, you can add in that's she all that and a bag of potato chips (which Helena, one of her many characters, would probably eat).

Maslany has earned a lot of praise, rightfully so, for her performance on BBC America's breakout hit series. Actually, we should say performances as she effortlessly handles no less than seven characters. Quick to praise Maslany's work? The Television Academy as they selected the actress to appear on the April cover or Emmy magazine.

We've got your exclusive first look at Maslany on the cover of Emmy magazine, as well as some gorgeous photos from inside the issue that show off Maslany's glam side.

And inside the issue, which hit newsstands today, Maslany's Orphan Black team are quick to gush about their leading lady.

"I don't think there's another actor right now, especially in her age range, who could have tackled something like this," costar Jordan Gavaris says of Maslany's handling of multiple roles. "The value of  getting to work with an actor of her caliber is not lost on me."

The series' co-creator Graeme Manson gushes, "She's a total natural, a working prodigy." And fellow co-creator John Fawcett adds, "Everyone wants to do their best work because she's working harder than everyone here, and everyone knows she's doing something special."

Orphan Black kicks off its second season April 19 on BBC America.
