![]() ![]() It was just so great and so much fun to release this idea of her being purposeful, the one in charge, and the mine mom and to let her hang and experience the weirdness of being a teenager and loving your friends and accepting that they aren’t always going to do what you want them to do. ‘How do we find the funny?’ is something he would always say to me. We switched vocal directors, so in that and the movie, and Gene Vassilaros comes from deep comedy and he’s in that sitcom mindset. What was really fun in season two was letting her all hang out. Every time we talked about Jessica, it was always that she would be purposeful and has willpower. She takes that energy, anxiousness, and excitement in the body and moves it towards a purpose. I totally get her and how she is willful and the positive version of anxiety. I’m such a huge hippie, so when they said, ‘She’s an environmentalist and a bit of a hippie,’ I was here for it. ![]() Just being able to create that and give her this sense of caring for the planet was so beautiful. This is a kid’s show for eight and up or even younger, so we don’t really want to be saying, ‘Loads of bad stuff happened! She lost her whole family and now she’s crippled with fear and anxiety!’ To have this person who understands the responsibility of having a Power Ring and doesn’t want it, I had to ask how I could express that in a teenager who has her own mindset and convictions. How would a high schooler manifest anxiety in a positive way? Jessica’s origin is deeply anxious and there’s a lot of trauma around her life. To create a more innocent and wholesome version of someone who deals with anxiety was really interesting. It was a really wonderful experience for me personally to do research by reading the comics. Lauren and Sam Riegel, who was our voice director in season one of DC Super Hero Girls, were very keen on making these real teenagers. If you’re at all familiar with her origin, it’s pretty dark. It’s really very cool to have this character who was slightly different Lauren Faust creation and to explore a side of her you don’t normally see. I often baulk at actors who are like, ‘Oh, I could never do voiceover because I want to feel like the character is mine.’ That’s a big saying in the acting world, and knowing that there have been a couple of actors who have embodied Jessica Cruz, including my dear friend Cristina Milizia and Diane Guerrero. You don’t get to originate characters very much as an actor. Honestly, it’s kind of like this amazing dream. In this huge tapestry of the DC Universe, Jessica Cruz is a relatively new character, so what has it meant to you to put your own spin on Green Lantern and really explore her across 50+ episodes of the series and into this movie?
