Owain Yeoman Talks About Playing Vartox In Supergirl

Yahoo! TV recently interviewed Owen Yeoman about his role in Turn, and they managed to get a question in about the filming of the Supergirl pilot while they’re at it.

Yeoman plays Vartox in the Supergirl premiere, which we will hopefully be seeing on CBS this Fall.

“At the moment, it’s something I can’t really talk about an awful lot,” he told them. “I’ve just signed on for the pilot. I guess there’s always the potential that a character could come back. I’m contractually signed on with Turn, so obviously that’s my home right now. I will say the scope of the Supergirl pilot was incredible. I’ve personally never been involved in something with such a huge production value and scope. Glen [Winter], the director, is doing incredible things with it, and I really feel like people who are fans of not just the Supergirl world, but the whole Superman franchise, will be really, really thrilled with this. It genuinely felt like we were shooting a movie,” he enthused.

Yeoman also talked about his hopes for his own action figure. “A Vartox action doll would be amazing. A Benedict Arnold action doll… that would be something as well,” he said.
