The OWI recently conducted a Q & A with Brea Grant, the actress slated to portray Daphne in the upcoming season of HEROES.
There are a few minor spoilers, just in case you want to stay spoiler-free for the new season.
Quote:
Are/ were you daunted by the enormous pressure of joining such a great ensemble cast?
Any first week hazing stories?
Yeah - I was (and still am) feeling a bit out of my league but everyone has been incredibly
welcoming. No real hazing. But the first day we filmed on the top story of a building in
downtown Los Angeles and there were a lot of threats involving hazing and me plummeting
to my death.
Tell us about working with Masi and James. I have interviewed both of them and they seem
like they would be so fun to work with.
They are incredibly fun to work with. I've worked more with Masi at this point and he has
been so nice. I feel like we collaborate really well- making suggestions to each other and
coming up with new ideas for scenes. It's nice when work feels like you're just hanging out
with your friends and coming up with cool stuff to do.
What can you tell us about Daphne?
Daphne's power is that she is very fast - so fast she leaves a wake behind her - like when a
motorboat speeds through the water and make waves that affect things in its vicinity. She
has been on her own for a while and uses her powers for monetary gain - she's a thief. In
the first episode you see Daphne, she steals something very important from Hiro. And she
wears cool shoes.
When will we be meeting Daphne on the show? In Chapter 1 of Volume 3?
Yep. Very first episode.
