Which versions of Catwoman and Selina Kyle were you familiar with before you got the role?
I knew of Anne Hathaway, Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry.
What excited you about the idea of playing Selina Kyle before she becomes Catwoman?
I’m really excited and honored because it’s a really legendary role. Nobody’s ever played it [at this age] before and it’s just really exciting.
Are we going to see Selina’s parents?
Parents, I don’t think so, but I don’t know at the same time.
Have there been more cats in the subsequent episodes?
No. That was mostly in the pilot. Lately, not very many cats.
Do you feel like a cat?
I do, I do which is great. All my life I’ve been compared to a cat which is really ironic, but it’s nice because sometimes I already feel like a cat, sometimes I don’t. When I get on set, I just get to think about my cat Mr. G and how he operates and use him as inspiration.
You didn’t speak in the pilot. When will we get to hear you speak?
You have to keep watching. I don’t want to spoil it.
Is that cool to you that you can be so mysterious you don’t even talk?
Yeah, that’s what I love. I actually sometimes think it’s more interesting not speaking as an actor or actress because especially with Selina, you don’t know what she’s thinking. I feel like you don’t know what she’s thinking as to where it’s good, bad, or she’s even thinking of anything and she’s just dazing off into outer space. So that’s what I love about her.
Have you learned any Parkour for the stunts of Gotham?
I have, I have. I’ve been taking some classes out in Northridge, CA learning how to run up some walls and stuff like that, so that’s fun.
Did you do any of the stunts in the pilot?
I did the walking down the staircase, but all the other stuff I didn’t do.
How old is Selina on the show?
She is 14.
It’s one thing for us to see Edward Nygma and Oswald Cobblepot get started on their paths, but Selina is so young when we first see her on Gotham. How far do you think she has to go to become Catwoman?
I don’t know. I don’t know how Bruno [Heller] and Danny [Cannon] are going to have the story evolve. I don’t know if we’re basing it year by year or every five years. I don’t know yet. Thats’ why I’m excited. Every time I read a script, it’s like, “Ooh, so exciting!”
Have you ever had a job like that before where the script comes in and it’s that exciting?
No, this is actually my first acting job. I’ve had other ones but this is like my big thing, so that’s why I’m really excited about it. The cast is seasoned, great, so I’m really grateful.

so she pulled a david mazouz on touch cool
ReplyDeleteExcited to see what she does with the part and how the creators turn Selina's story. Usually in her origins Selina has a very hard upbringing so it will be, at least to me, interesting to see where her story goes and how the actress does.
ReplyDeleteWhat Do You Mean?
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful girl and her interview is very thought out and fun. I am excited to see her and David Mazouz on the show. How are they going to integrate these kids with this show.
ReplyDeleteEeeek, the character Halle Berry played is not an iteration of Selina Kyle. She was just an awful character in an awful movie, both of which happened to be named Catwoman like Selina.
