The Marvel Life: Tricia Helfer
We chatted with the ‘Battlestar Galactica’ star about voicing Black Cat, geeking out over ‘Game of Thrones’, cats and more!
By Blake Garris
Actress and former model Tricia Helfer may be best known for playing Number Six on Battlestar Galactica as well as numerous cameos on hit shows, but when she’s not acting she spends her time doing charity work rescuing cats in need.
So it’s no surprise that she was the choice to play the voice of Black Cat in the Spectacular Spider-Man animated series as well as the Spider-Man: Web of Shadows video game. We recently had the opportunity to sit down with Ms. Helfer to talk about all these topics, her new show on NBC, and how she may have been a little too seductive as a voice in a children’s cartoon.
Marvel.com: You’ve voiced Black Cat in a few Spider-Man projects. What was that like?
Tricia Helfer: Yes, I was the voice of Black Cat in Spectacular Spider-Man and also in Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, the video game. It was great.
Actually I have a little funny story about Spectacular Spider-Man. I’ve done two episodes and the first time I did it, it was sort of right around the time that I did the video game. And I don’t know how I missed this note that it was a morning kid’s show, but I guess I’d been doing some video games and a lot of the [Black Cat] lines were very suggestive in their own way — as Black Cat can be. And I was making her very purrish and sexy, but nobody said anything!
And then I read an article that came up about it when it premiered and it said something about Tricia Helfer and her Black Cat turning a lot of 10-year-old boys into puberty. And I went, “It’s a cartoon! Oh my gosh!” So I went back and when I did the second episode I told the producers, I was like, “I was being a little sexier than I would have if I had known it was for kids.” But they had a good laugh over that.
