Discuss the cast (guest stars too) in roles outside of Supergirl.

 

----------------------

 

I'm not that familiar with many of the regular cast. Calista Flockhart and David Harewood are the two that I've seen the most of. I'd heard of Mehcad Brooks, but haven't really watched anything he's been in.

 

I recently found out that Chyler Leigh was in Taxi Brooklyn, in which I thought she was the worst part, so I hope she's much better here.

 

I'm sure he'll only have a few scenes (if that many!), but I'm looking forward to seeing Dean Cain.

I remember Chyler Leigh from the short lived show Reunion. 

 

Calista Flockhart  from Ally McBeal. 

 

Melissa Benoist from her topless scene in Homeland and from Glee. 

 

Mehcad Brooks as Eggs from True Blood and from Desperate Housewives. 

 

I don't know how much they will be in it, but Dean Cain and Helen Slater from their time in the super suit. 

 

I obviously watch too much tv. :D

Of course I know of Calista from Ally McBeal, though I never really watched the show much.

But the whole reason I'm watching Supergirl is Jeremy Jordan. I've been a devout worshipper of his chiseled jawline and vocal cords of steel for about 4 years now. I've been to NYC twice to see him perform- saw him in Bonnie & Clyde on Broadway, and then last year I went to his solo cabaret show at 54 Below. I met him both times. And of course I watched Smash and the movies he's done, Joyful Noise and The Last 5 Years. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed to hear he was going to be in L.A. doing Supergirl because I was hoping he'd be back in another Broadway show soon. I think he's a good actor no matter what the medium, but his singing and presence on stage is really something amazing. He's incredibly charismatic in person. I don't think the magic comes across quite as well on TV as it does live (plus a role where he doesn't sing is tragic), but he seems excited to be doing the show, so I'm happy for him.

I think it's interesting that Owain Yeoman is playing an 'unstoppable' killer in the Supergirl pilot, when he also played an unstoppable killer in the Sarah Connor Chronicles pilot. He's on the tall side, so I guess that helps.  :)

She really should be asked to host Saturday Night Live someday.  This is the sort of thing that their writers live for!

Ah we all know thats not how SNL hosting works!  Its all about synergy and marketing tie-ins.

They'll have reoccurring guests on outside of that for reasons like this though. However I believe She Loves Me is done with its NY run (it closed July 10), so short of Benanti yet another Broadway show vs. more TV, I don't see how she'd be all that easily available.

Just caught David Harewood in a Doctor Who episode from 2009.  The accent threw me for a moment, but he was easy to recognize.  Plus there are so many Brits playing Americans these days (e.g., Walking Dead), it's not as surprising to hear their real voice anymore.

Quote

Laura and Linda Benanti will offer The Story Goes On May 5-6, 2017, at 7 PM at the intimate cabaret. The two artists will present “a musical journey through the special relationship between a mother and daughter.”

Linda Benanti, an accomplished actor and singer who performed on Broadway, Off-Broadway, and regionally, has been a voice teacher with a studio in Kinnelon, NJ, for the past 35 years. Her last professional performance was in the 1981 revival of Brigadoon. The Story Goes On will mark her return to the stage.

I find it charismatic in both. Kai is fun as hell because it is impossible not to be interesting when you are charismatic but also an impredictable villain without remorse and powers and a childish / murderous behaviour. Mon-El's storyline is harder to sell and part of that is the writing (they decided to have an arc about what seemed to be a jerk to a full hero with a high-school love story in the middle)

I was at the movies today, and saw this poster for Jasper Jones, starring Levi Miller, who plays Carter Grant. I had no idea he was Australian, until I IMDb'd him to see for sure if he was who I thought he was.

"I...is anxiously waiting"?  Not to go all Grammar Nazi on you, but shouldn't that be "I...am anxiously waiting?" Parenthetical expressions are never considered part of the subject of a sentence.

Jeremy Jordan will be part of a 20/20 special on ABC this Friday:

Quote

ABC News’ newest episode of 20/20 will focus on what it calls “the secretive world of Christian camps” that are connected to anti-gay rhetoric and practices.

In an exclusive clip from the hour, which airs Friday night, the network’s Brian Ross sits down with Supergirl actor Jeremy Jordan about his very personal connection to such groups.

Just saw Patriots Day OnDemand.  Melissa Benoist was almost unrecognizable as the wife of one of the terrorists.  Weird seeing Supergirl playing a woman proud of her terrorist husband.

Melissa Benoist cast in ‘Waco’ miniseries:

Quote

Waco chronicles the 1993 standoff between the FBI, ATF and David Koresh’s spiritual sect, The Branch Davidians, told from several perspectives of those most intimately involved in both sides of the conflict.

Benoist will portray Rachel Koresh, the legal wife of Branch Davidian leader Koresh and considered the matriarch of Mount Carmel.

I only sporadically secondhand watch Agents of SHIELD, so I was surprised to see that Agent Vasquez (Briana Venskus) is also a SHIELD agent! I guess if the DEO can't have her, it's the next best thing. :)

She's been doing both since last season. People have been joking that she's either a Shield agent working undercover at the DEO or a DEO agent working undercover at Shield. I was very happy that she still appeared in a few Supergirl episodes this season.
