The Lying Game's Alexandra Chando Talks Playing Twins

If you’ve seen The Lying Game, you know that Alexandra Chando has some pretty amazing acting skills. And on top of that, she plays two different characters! Can you imagine having to act in scenes with just yourself all the time? It sounds crazy challenging, but Alexandra does it so well!

So how does she keep track of her different characters? “I sat down before the pilot and broke down each of the girls,” Alexandra told TheInsider.com. “I wanted to find things that were different about each of them based on their upbringing and surroundings. But at the same time, highlight the similarities because they are twins.”

The challenge doesn’t stop there. The show uses special effects so that when we watch the final product on TV, we see double the Alexandra! “I talk to an X on the wall a lot, where someone else reads the lines,” said Alexandra. “I’ve gotten more and more used to it and have figured out ways to help myself out – but it will always be a challenge because nothing compares to working opposite someone else.”
