IN A FLASH Meet television’s newest superhero. Jessica Parker Kennedy, who plays the speedy Nora West-Allen/XS on The CW’s The Flash, sits down long enough to answer our Genlux Two-Word Questionnaire.
Canadian-born actress Jessica Parker Kennedy is best known for playing Melissa on the CW series The Secret Circle, and Max on the Starz original series Black Sails. You also might have seen her on the television series Smallville where she played fan favorite Plastique, or the J. J. Abrams-produced spy drama series Undercovers. She recently nailed her most prominent starring role yet as superhero Nora West-Allen/XS on The CW’s The Flash. GPS position? I’m at Vancouver airport. You’re wearing? Roots sweatpants (my set sweats), my favorite travel scarf by White and Warren, and powder blue Converse platforms. I think I might look weird. Delightfully weird. Your breakfast? Egg and cheese on an English muffin. First job? An overwhelming place where I had to make fancy coffees, food and sell furniture and gifts all at the same time. Three blessings? My mom, my pup, my house. Childhood teasing? For being little. Your passion? My job and animals. Biggest worry? Everything and everyone; all the time. First heartbreak? I got dumped when I was 19, and I remember just feeling so so sick. DNA change? I’d like to change my toes. Character change? I’d like to stop being stubborn.
