Supergirl Star Nicole Maines's Favorite Memory From Set

Nap time. That was incredible.

You beat my record for defeating a dominator. While you warmed him up for me. Hi. Hi, how are you? How are you?

I'm very well, thank you.

Um have you been playing a lot of Xbox and Nintendo Switch in quarantine?

So much.

I saw your little at home with you. So I was like, oh I better ask her if she's in.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, I've been doing a lot of that.

Love it. And you also you are quarantined in your parents' house right now?

Yeah.

Okay, so when you got there, it wasn't decorated like that.

No, no. This has been my kind of project. I just got these little lights today. I think they look really good. Thank you very much.

How did you decide how you're going to decorate?

Uh it really was dependent on what crap I had available to me and what boxes. I had a bunch of stuff left over because my parents moved, um, kind of right when I was leaving college and going to Supergirl. So, a lot of my college decorations were still in boxes. Um, so a lot of this is just stuff I used to have in my dorm room that just sitting around and like college now. It's like college all over again.

Totally. And when you did, um, speaking of Supergirl, when you did book the part and everything and now in the show, did your college friends reach out to you to kind of talk about it and ask you like, Wow,

Oh, yeah, no. They Yeah, I still, um, I still hear from them a lot. They're, um, they're all very, very supportive of me and they're all very excited. Yeah.

Have you rewatched any episodes or anything else?

Um no, I just watched I watched them all as they aired. Um but I haven't gone back and and rewatched any cuz my I've rewatched I watched the last couple episodes cuz the last few aired, um, after we all went into quarantine. So I watched cuz my parents of course watch it every week. Um, so I watched with my parents and

What did they say about it? What did like they what's their favorite part about you in the show and what are your feelings on it?

They love it. They they love watching the show. Um, they're absolutely in love with, um, John Cryer as Lex Luthor. So I I I wonder if maybe they like his character a little more than my character.

Right? They probably do. Yes.

Yes. I'm like, I'm not sure if like I should feel like threatened. I'm like, is John Cryer trying to steal my parents?

Yes, that's right. And when you're doing the self tapes and auditions, are are does your mom or dad help you with that or you're just like, I'll do it myself.

Yeah, um, I try to do the setup as much as I can myself, but um my mom is an artist also, and so she's um got a really good eye for lighting and and and framework.

Accomplished a lot with it. And what is one thing you hope to accomplish over the next year? Say like life may be going back to normal too when you can do something. Um

Yeah. Yeah, I was going to say, um, my goal is to get out of this damn house. Yeah. Right? Um, I would love to be able to do some more projects. I'd love to be able to, um, work with, um, the the cast and crew from from Bit again. I love those guys. Um, And so I I I keep, um, texting, uh Brad who who wrote and directed it and I'm like, what are we doing? What are we doing another movie? It doesn't have to be a bit just like, what are we doing? What are we doing? Um, so I'd love to do something with those guys again. Um, I would love, I'm I'm just really excited to get back to Supergirl, honestly.

And what's one memory from set that you've had, like your favorite memory from set?
