Whedonverse Stars Go Head-To-Head At Supanova in Brisbane

Written by Connor Sassmannshausen - November 18, 2019Daniel Cribb

As part of Supanova TV, November Supa-Stars Amy Acker and Julie Benz took part in a heated round of competitive interview Jenga during their stopover in Brisbane, earlier this month.

While we await the video in all its glory, here’s a sneak peek of what host Quinny was able to extract during the intense match.

Amy Acker in ‘Agents of Shield’

Amy, what’s your favourite thing about Julie?

“She’s beautiful, smart, funny. She’s the full package. If I could marry her, I would.”

Julie, what Shakespeare character would you have Amy play?

“Lady Macbeth, because I think people underestimate Amy.”

Which is cooler: demons of vampires?

Amy: “Demons.”

What children’s movie would you watch over and over again?

Julie: “Obviously, George of the Jungle 2 because it stars my favourite actress of all time: Me. And we shot it here in Australia, and there are animals that talk.”

Amy: “Girls Just Want to Have Fun. I think it’s the best movie ever. You dance and skip school.”

If you could be reborn into any decade, which one would you choose?

Amy: “1920s. I’d like to be a little flapper girl.”

Julie: “2040, in the future, because I think we’re in a great time to be a woman. I think it’s just going to get better. I don’t want to go back. I don’t want to be a little housewife or a pioneer woman. I like being able to wear jeans and be comfortable.”

Julie Benz in ‘Angel’

Who’s the hottest: Angel, Spike or Wesley?

Amy: “Wesley.”

Julie: “It’d be weird if I said Spike, because he’s like my grandson. It’s weird enough Angel’s my son. Actually, Spike is like my great-grandson. It’s even weirder. Don’t get me down that road. I’ll go Wesley. He’s not related.”

What’s more fun to play, good guys or bad guys?

Julie: “I really like characters who transition from either good to bad or bad to good.”

Amy: “I would have said Julie’s answer, but I’ll go with bad guys that have you think are bad but they believe what they’re doing is right.”

What’s your weirdest skill?

Amy: “I can put my legs behind my head and walk on my hands.”

Julie: “Thumbelina stuck in a jar.”

If you want to know what “Thumbelina stuck in a jar” is, looks like you’ll have to check an eye out for the full Supanova TV episode.
