I had seen the show and was really excited when I heard the casting news for it.
What can you tell us about Indigo?
Indigo is actually a living, strong-willed supercomputer.
Shes a villain thats able to transport via the Internet.
Shes equally as dangerous digitally as she is physically in her form.
Youll find out later on.
What is Indigos dynamic like with Kara (Melissa Benoist) in the present?
Its something shes never come across before and shes figuring it out as she goes.
Shes an equal strength to Supergirl at some point throughout the episodes.
Is there anything you’re able to tease of why she was imprisoned on Fort Rozz?
Thats something youll find out in the coming episodes that shes in.
In the comics, shes a version of Brainiac, which is funny because we saw Brainiac onSmallville.
How does she compare to that one?
Actually, onSmallvilleas well, I had an episode where I played Brainiac.
Its a different version for sure.
Its definitely a different version than we saw onSmallville.
What kind of interaction does she have with the other characters on the show?
I got a chance to play with everyone on the show.
Its been a lot of fun.
Im really trying to find the unique qualities in Indigo.
A lot of the character is driven by how she looks.
What was that makeup process like?
Its about three to four hours.
Its my first time doing this extensive hair, makeup, prosthetics, wig, the whole nine yards.
It really transforms everything about what Im doing.
Its definitely a whole new world.
Therestalk of a scenebetween all three Supergirls, with you, Melissa, and Helen Slater.
What was that like to shoot?
I have another episode to go, so well see.
Hopefully that comes up.
Have you at least been swapping Supergirl stories with Melissa?
Shes doing a great job.
In the comics, Indigo was a superheroine-turned-villain, so could she possibly turn good and align with Supergirl?
I think theres always that possibility with comic-book characters.
They can switch sides rather quickly depending on what works best for them.
Indigo is such a conniving character that I think she would do whatever works for her.
Was it nice for you to tap into the evil side this time around?
I always believe its a little more fun to play bad.
Although Ive played my share of good characters, this Im able to have more fun with.
I get to play all the realms of emotion with Indigo.
If youre playing a good character, you really cant go dark very often.
Its been pretty fun.
Im having a blast figuring out her personality.
Whats been your favorite part of playing this character?
Theres a lot of things about her that Ive been enjoying.
