January 19, 2015: Audition Tapes for "Supergirl" TV Series

Supergirl Audition videos from actors hoping to be cast in the upcoming "Supergirl" TV series on CBS were been posted online, giving us an insight into possible scenes that might be featured in the Pilot episode.

Actors read from a script for the roles of Supergirl, Supergirl's foster sister Alex Danvers, and Jimmy Olsen. No casting announcements have been made at this point in time, so it's unknown whether any of these actors have been cast in any of the roles.

What is interesting, is the mention of Superman in the dialog...

In these audition tapes we see Kara's first meeting with James Olsen and/or her discussion with foster sister Alex over using her powers in public.

NOTE: The audition videos were removed for copyright reasons.

Kara Zor-El aka Kara Danvers: Aged 24. Kara at age 12 was sent from her dying home planet of Krypton to Earth, where she was taken in by the Danvers, a foster family who taught her to be careful with her extraordinary powers. After repressing said skills for more than a decade, Kara is forced to bust out her super moves in public during an unexpected disaster. Energized by her heroism for the first time in her life, she begins embracing her abilities in the name of helping the people of her city, earning herself a super moniker along the way.

Alex Danvers: 26-year-old Alexandra "Alex" Danvers, Kara's gorgeous, brilliant, science-minded foster sister. Growing up, Alex was partly jealous of her sibling yet also fascinated by her abilities, prompting Alex to learn as much as she could about alien anthropology, sociology and culture. Today, Alex works for a secret government organization and, alongside her heroic sis, will face many challenges, both mundane and super.

James Olsen: In his late 20s/early 30s, open ethnicity, James is a smart, worldly and (duh) attractive photographer for CatCo. Though an alpha male, his salt-of-the-earth nature elicits a huge ol' crush from Kara.

The "Supergirl" pilot is penned by Ali Adler (No Ordinary Family) and Greg Berlanti (Arrow), both of whom will be executive producers alongside Sarah Schechter (of Berlanti Productions) and Warner Bros. TV.
