SciFi TV Zone – Laura Vandervoort, who stole the hearts of genre fans when she played Supergirl on Smallville, is returning to television this Tuesday on ABC’s “V”, in which she plays the alien Visitor Lisa, whose job is to bring disenfranchised teens into the Peace Ambassador Program, with the ultimate intent of using them against humanity. In the following interview, Laura talks about both series.
SCI FI TV ZONE: You are shooting in Vancouver – any chance that you might hop over to Smallville?
LAURA VANDERVOORT: Oh gosh, there’s been a few background performers I did Smallville with, and they’re coming up and saying, “So, are you coming back?” And I don’t know. I mean, I’m in Vancouver, I don’t know if they know I’m here, but it would be nice to hop over and be part of the show again. I loved Smallville. It was everything to me. You know, it was the first role that put me out there in front of America and the world – it’s played all over the world – and it’s helped me get in the door for other projects that were grittier and different, that I would have never been considered for because of the way you look, or the way they’ve seen you in the past. I owe everything to Smallville, and I’d love to go back, I don’t know if they’re going to have a storyline for me, I’m not sure what direction they’re taking the show in, so fingers crossed. I’d love to go back before the show is done.
