Laura Vandervoort has shown that, as an actress, she is much more than a familiar face in science fiction and fantasy. From early fame in Smallville through leading roles in TV shows such as Bitten and supporting roles in films such as Jigsaw, she has continually shown her versatility in working across genres and types.
Her parts have varied from superhero to villain, conflicted hero to survivor in a dire predicament. The fact that her career stands out is that she has been open to doing the kind of parts that challenge her image. She has not stuck to a single genre or type of character but has actually made a transition from television to film with continuity.
By examining five of her most prominent examples, one can see how she has traversed varied performances throughout her career. Each one of her performances reveals a different side of her acting skill, expressing emotion or depicting morally complex storylines.
Here are 5 Laura Vandervoort movies and TV shows that show her range as an actress
1. Smallville (2007–2011)
Smallville is one of the most prominent series she was in, where she played the character of Kara Zor-El, i.e., Supergirl. She was employed as a recurring series character for Season 7 (2007–2008) and then returned for guest storylines for Season 8 (2008) and the final Season 10 (2010–2011).
Her performances blended toughness, vulnerability, and yearning for belonging. Bringing to life an iconic heroine involved enormous expectations, yet she had to provide the inexperience of a newbie as well as the baggage of Kryptonian heritage. This is one of her most memorable roles because it proved that she could effortlessly play a popular comic book heroine with confidence.
2. V (2009–2011)
Laura Vandervoort also featured in the reimagined science fiction television series V, where she played Lisa, Anna's (Morena Baccarin) daughter and leader of the Visitors. Lisa was one of the main characters in the series since she was loyal to her alien homeland and the human beings with whom she began forming a bond.
This required Vandervoort to balance contradictory obligations and feelings, so Lisa was one of the more complex characters on the show. It was a different trajectory than her heroic ideal on Smallville, and it demonstrated that Laura Vandervoort was capable of playing morally complex characters in thriller drama.
3. Bitten (2014–2016)
Bitten was a jewel in Laura Vandervoort's career, where she was cast as the main character, Elena Michaels, the only known female werewolf. Space in Canada and Syfy in the US were completely reliant on how she played the main character for their three-season success.
Vandervoort played Elena as a complex and troubled character with inner conflict, having to choose between human and supernatural existence. She played the character physically and emotionally demanding and challenging, establishing Laura Vandervoort's ability to play a series as a lead. Bitten is one of her classic projects and a sure indicator of her acting prowess.
4. Jigsaw (2017)
Laura Vandervoort entered the world of horror in 2017 with her starring role in Jigsaw, a spinoff of the Saw movie series. Her character was thrust into life-or-death scenarios of moral challenges and survival, and Vandervoort had to utilize fear, desperation, and determination at their most volatile.
The move to horror demonstrated that she was willing to experiment with darker and more foreboding genres, away from the science fiction and fantasy genres that she had been working on previously. Jigsaw was also evidence of the versatility of Laura Vandervoort.
5. Supergirl (2016)
Laura Vandervoort recurred in the Superman universe in Supergirl as Indigo. She portrayed Indigo, a Coluan antagonist also known as Brainiac 8, in Season 1 (2016). Indigo was cold and calculating, which was quite a switch from Vandervoort's previous heroic roles in Smallville.
The casting choice pleased her range because she played a villain well in the same large universe in which she previously played a hero. This dichotomy helped to make her more proficient at playing other archetypes and being convincing for both arguments.
Laura Vandervoort has consistently proven that she can do well to switch between vastly different genres and roles. From Kara Zor-El on Smallville to her troubled alien role on V, her lead character role on Bitten, her horror experience with Jigsaw, and her Supergirl villainous role, all five of the shows unveil a different side of her acting skills.
