October 6, 2007: Laura Vandervoort E! Online Interview

E! Online has published an interview with Laura Vandervoort, who plays Kara Zor-El (Supergirl) on "Smallville", and asked her a series of questions about her role, joining the cast, and more...

The cast and crew must be pretty tight after six seasons. Have they been cool to you?

Everyone's been asking if I was nervous joining the cast. And I guess I was worried about the fact that they had been together for [so long] and I might not quite fit in, but everyone was really great when I got there. Erica [Durance] especially, since she was the last new girl on the show and knew what I was going through. She took me under her wing and made me feel comfortable. But being a part of Smallville in general [has been amazing], because I've been a fan since season one, and I love the way it's shot and acted and written. I am so honored to be a part of it.

How was the bonding process between you and Tom, since you guys are supposed to be related on the show?

Yeah, it's really cool. We have this sarcastic humor with each other, and we make each other laugh all the time. I've never had an older brother, so it's nice to have that relationship, and he's really helpful with my scenes. Sometimes I don't know how to make it sound realistic, since I am talking about other planets and things like that, and he's had six years of experience, so that's cool.
