Naomi star kaciwalfall talks about what most excited her about the CW series, her character's journey from comic book fan to superhero, leading the show as a teenager, and more.
Editor's note: The following interview contains light spoilers for Naomi.From executive producers Ava DuVernay and Jill Blankenship, the CW series Naomi, based on the characters from DC Comics, follows teenager Naomi McDuffie , a top student who has the third-biggest Superman fan site in the world.
Are you someone who has delved enough into the comics now that you know what those Easter eggs are when you see them in a script, or do you still have to have them tell you what those Easter eggs are? WALFALL: Probably my dad. My dad always tells me that he’s my biggest fan and he’s super excited. My mom is super excited. My younger brother is excited. I called my grandmother when I first got the role. My uncles, my aunts, and my cousins are really excited. And my friends are excited too.
WALFALL: Naomi doesn’t get involved in high school drama. That is not her lane. That is not the lane of the show. It’s not a cliquey show either. I think it’s an accurate representation of someone in high school. I’m in high school. But Naomi has to balance those lives. She has to balance having this certain destiny, and then also being in high school and keeping things secret in high school. The person she is at school is a completely different person than when she is her superhero self.
WALFALL: Dee and Zumbado are both in the comics. First of all, I love Alex [Wraith] and Cranston [Johnson]. I think that they’re great actors and also great people, so I love working with them. Naomi has this drive in her, so when she knows that someone knows the answer, she’s gonna ask them questions. I think of Dee as her teacher. He’s like her Mr. Miyagi.
