Supergirl definitely isn’t complaining about her latest team-up with Lex Luthor.
And I was very excited to get to work with him closely in an actor-director relationship.
How would you describe the tone of the episode?
Katie Yu/The CW
But it’s hard to hate Lex Luthor, he’s so delicious.
By nature, this episode is very expository because its explaining the season from his perspective.
What challenges came with that?
Kailey Schwerman/The CW
It starts the day after Crisis.
What was it like to work with Jon on those scenes?
I mean, that was the dream.
Katie Yu/The CW
But working with him, he’s just so smart and far more experienced than I as an actor.
Honestly, I felt bad.
I didn’t feel like I really needed to give him that much direction.
What can we expect from their interaction?
There’s quite a bit of Lena Luthor in there.
A lot of Arrowverse stars have directed episodes:David Harewood,Katie Cassidy, andCaity Lotz.
Did you get any advice from them?
Of course.David Ramsey, as well has been really helpful.
I got to watch him and he has such a great fun, positive directing vibe about him.
How did you feel your experience as an actor influenced your directing approach?
Thinking about tonally what emotions are there or what is driving a character, our objectives and our goals.
So that really informed my approach to it all.
