Quantico's Twins Are Played by the Same Person, and It's So Badass

Priyanka Chopra may be the star of Quantico, but she's not the only one turning in one hell of a performance. You know Nimah and Raina, the twins? Well, they're not played by two sisters; they're played by the same person. Lebanese-born actress Yasmine Al Massri has been pulling double duty as the characters since day one. That's right, she Parent Trap-ped us, and we're not even mad! She's so good in these roles that you definitely shouldn't be ashamed if you didn't suspect this. Take a look, and then get lost in Jake McLaughlin's (aka Ryan Booth) eyes.

See that clever camerawork? When you don't see one of the girls' faces, it means there is very likely a body double there.

While they more frequently appear separately, sometimes the editors employ some fancy technical tricks to put them in the same frame.

Slay, Yasmine, slay.

The moral of this story is that Yasmine Al Massri is a total badass who tricked you into thinking she's two separate actresses. She's skilled beyond words, and Quantico is lucky to have her.
