Character
Scott Smith
Scott Smith in Orphan Black (2013), played by Josh Vokey.
Scott Smith is a bright, unassuming grad-student scientist working alongside Cosima inside the Dyad Institute's genetics lab. He's earnest, a little geeky, more comfortable with data and side projects than office politics, and quietly loyal to the people he works with even as the science around him gets stranger than anything in his textbooks.
Josh Vokey plays him as gentle ballast in a show full of high-wire tension and doubles — a normal, decent guy dropped into a conspiracy far above his pay grade. He works because he's an audience surrogate with actual expertise, reacting to the show's escalating weirdness with the bemused, curious honesty of someone who just wanted to do good science.
Scott Smith is another student at University of Minnesota, along with Cosima. Her repeated requests in aiding her clone research leads him into the conspiracy of the clones as an outsider, eventually landing a job at Dyad and being thrust into various undisclosed genetic revelations.
