September 22, 2009: Allison Scagliotti Talks "Smallville" Wonder Twins

IESB.net caught up with actress Allison Scagliotti to talk to her about her new TV series "Warehouse 13" but also asked her about her role as Twyla (one half of the Wonder Twins) on "Smallville". Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    Q: For those who don't know, what is a Wonder Twin?

    Allison: The Wonder Twins were introduced, back in the '70's, as part of the Super Friends comic, along with Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman and Robin. They're little teen wonders from the planet Exxor, who when they activate their powers together, the girl takes any animal shape and the boy takes any form of water. When you meet us on Smallville, we're just getting the hang of using our powers for good, and we're not particularly good at it. We have the best of intentions, and it blows up in our face.

    Q: What was the experience of doing Smallville like, and how was it different from doing Warehouse 13?

    Allison: The difference between a show like Smallville and a show like Warehouse 13 is that this is Smallville's ninth season. It definitely has a formula and it takes itself a little more seriously than a show like Warehouse, where we don't necessarily have a formula beyond finding artifacts and putting them away. The possibilities are endless.

    Whereas, when you're working with superheroes that have been established for decades, you do have to maintain a degree of rule-keeping, for the fans and for the integrity of the original story. With Warehouse, we've got something brand new and all its own. I had fun on Smallville, but it's a totally different world.
