According to the L.A. Times‘ Show Tracker, Brea Grant, who plays the super-speedster Daphne in the new season of Heroes, prepared for her role by reading a long box–worth of Flash comics.
A little ball of Texas fun, Brea Grant said that it was “kind of daunting” joining the “Heroes’ cast but prepared herself for her super-speed role well, being the “nerd” that she is.
“I read a bunch of Flash comics, and now I have about this many (spreads her arms about three feet apart). I tried to watch the Flash TV series, but it was really bad.”
She also discusses the possible uses of super-speed in ordinary life:
“If I had it [super speed] in real life … it’d be amazing. My room would always be clean. I’d never run out of cereal…”
It’s worth noting that in the season opener, she appears wearing red. Yes: she shows up as a scarlet speedster.
