Did I mention that that belt is a second degree black belt?

Yeah….. read further for more on that.

An all around talented woman, Vandervoort in also incredibly well rounded.

With such a long time between seasons, there are plenty of questions on the minds of the fans.

Have you read any of the books that the television series is based on?

Some characters that in the books dont live, do in the show.

Whereas in the books, Logan dies fairly early on.

So its a place for her to speak her truth and to really just be who she is.

Hes the only person he can talk to about trying to live in both worlds.

They have that special bond and connection, for sure.

Yeah, I think so.

Prior toSmallvilleandSupergirl, I wasnt aware of the comic world or Sci-fi, really.

I grew up watchingBuffy.

That was sort of my only geekdom there [wanting to be her].

I can definitely talk shop about comic books, special effects and the mythology behind the werewolves and superheroes.

Is that something that you think has really helped create the dynamic that we see on screen?

There were no egos, everyone was just there to do good work.

I think that, in a way, we developed relationships that our characters have on camera.

Greg is our alpha.

Hes my relationship guru; I go to him when I need advice.

And he genuinely cares about us off camera.

So we have that kind of group mentality; hanging out, having birthdays together.

We would get together before the wrap party.

Its nice and it definitely helps.

Even if were not filming, we all still want to be a pack together.

And Im sure theyre just as important to the rest of you.

Yeah, hes a phenomenal actor and one special man.

I think we all have a huge place in our hearts for him.

Both personally and professionally, he is incredible.

He is our alpha.

Whereas, Elena is highly emotional and wears her heart on her sleeve.

Supergirl, similarly to Elena, was a character that existed before I was attached to who they are.

But Supergirl had more of a fan base that was specific on how she came across.

Shes an iconic superhero so there were boxes that I had to stay within.

She did sort of contain her emotions and I had to play it the way that they wanted her.

I think I got a bit of myself in there, but she was rather stunted.

She had no emotion.

She was almost robotic, which was actually really tough for me.

You have to express everything through your eyes.

In this season, shes pretty much come into her own and accepted who she is.

She is in fighting mode.

Im sure that its all helpful, considering how many fight scenes there are in the series.

Do you think you draw directly from any of your background for the show?

They can see my face during fight sequences and not just a wig.

I think it helped direct me to certain roles, like Supergirl.
