Smallville's Erica Durance seeks justice as Question Lady on Harry's Law So how exactly does it feel really dealing with play Question Lady... of sorts? Erica Durance: "Of sorts" is the easiest method to place it and it is most likely the easiest method to listen to it because you're able to have some freedom and you are not judged quite as roughly. The way in which I could use the smoothness Question Lady within this is thru your eyes of the lady who frantically needed a powerful female archetype to idolize, and she or he choose to go through such terrible things which was her alter ego. I'd challenge anyone who stated that they did not think she was Question Lady. This is the way she found her way to avoid it. So, being an actress, dealing with placed on the suit and play Question Lady was fantastic after which I acquired this complete other layer due to the way in which David E. Kelley wrote it, to ground it within this type of humanistic point of view, that was lovely. What sparks your character's alter ego, "Question Lady," to visit public? Durance: Well, she has been out for some time. What eventually ends up happening is the fact that my character, Annie Billson, went a measure too much, or some would say many steps too much, and brought this psychosis, this vigilantism just a little far within the opinion of society and she's hurt one so many people, and thus she's really been billed having a crime. She would go to see Adam (Nate Corddry), whom she's a brief history with and it has attended senior high school with. They know her, so she seeks his representation. Annie is actually passionate that they is really Question Lady. Could it be a reasonable comparison to express that she's as passionate as Lois Lane? Durance: I'd think so since it is exactly the same person doing the work, and passion is passion. I am the vessel and will also finish up getting that same color into it, however i play the role of as truthful as you possibly can inside it and she or he comes with individuals same convictions. The only real difference, obviously, is character's from a different kind of world, and also the reason she's become to an entirely different reason. However I will state that individuals will most likely certainly recognize it since it is still Erica playing it, right? [Laughs] And So I could not transform that, but passion is certainly a great word for this. You'd placed on the "Amazon . com Princess" costume on Smallville. So how exactly does it feel dealing with placed on the actual factor? Durance: Just a little daunting, and partly because getting experienced the comic world for some time now, I am really very sincere of those that love this character. I actually do go very seriously. Like a side note, simply to be light about this, any lady putting on tight pants isn't super excited the very first time she puts them on. [Laughs] I wasn't exactly, you realize, tight pants- or under garments-ready. Maybe you have desired to play Question Lady? Should you did not possess the finish of Smallville last season, can you have thought about joining David E. Kelley's project? Durance: I'll state that I'd jump in the chance to utilize David E. Kelley again and [Harry's Law and Question Lady executive producer] Bill D'Elia. Bill D'Elia cast me on my small first large job very which was very enticing. I'd face the facts with a little of trepidation, however i most likely might have desired to dive in to the deep finish of something of that nature. I believe it is a great character and you will have a lot fun by using it. I really like comics. I really like that sci-fi stuff. I was raised on that therefore it is something which, in ways, I truly connect with and that i would have loved that, but that wasn't my journey. I Quickly wound up getting this excellent specific role on here and started work on the show that has charge, that is Kathy Bates. In my experience, that's pretty great. Are you currently the kind of actress who states, "I have spent so long on Smallville and today I've to escape that genre!"? Durance: No. I simply believe things cross your path that should cross your path and you will know if you notice it whether for you to do it or otherwise. I believe that the majority of us stars are include a box of sorts. We are labeled. That you can do your very best to step outdoors of this a bit in some places and have a great time by using it, but you might also need to know might embrace it and revel in it. Personally, I am just grateful to operate again. Have you got any Smallville withdrawal? Durance: There is a certain grieving process to departing a show and someone which were a household for you. You need to learn that's everything existence is, is simply a group of transitions for you personally which means you undertake it. But yeah, there have been occasions after i was like, "Aww." Less sad sometimes, but I'll continue another set and will also you need to be slightly different. I am shifting. I have been stating that for several weeks. I am in transition. Lasso of truth time: Best benefit of putting on the costume and also the worst a part of putting on the costume. Durance: The good thing may be the corset, surprisingly, since it provides you with a small little waist, causing you to crunches really straight. The most uncomfortable part is tight, elastic pants because, well, guess what happens you seem like when you are putting on tight, elastic pants. You just need to be cautious things are appropriate. But can you have wanted the under garments version from the costume though? Durance: [Laughs] I am very grateful for that pants. I understand that individuals were very looking forward to the under garments to see them. To become quite frank, I'm not sure basically could've done the under garments justice at this era also it may have been more upsetting for individuals to determine me inside them rather than not, and so i think the pants really are a safe wager for me personally.
