Katie Cassidy goes glam for the new Action issue of Bello magazine!

Katie Cassidy opened up to the glossy about how she landed her role on Arrow, as well as the challenges that come along with playing Laurel. Check it:

On the show’s second season: “Getting picked up early was definitely a surprise for us. It all came together. I’m actually kind of sad to not see our crew and cast as we take our hiatus.”

On her audition process: “After I read the script, I knew that this was something I wanted to do. The process just took longer than I had expected. I wanted the part so bad, I actually told my agent and manager that I wasn’t going to read anything else. I had read other material, but hadn’t responded to it the way I responded to Arrow. I wanted to make it known that I wanted this part so bad that I stopped going out.”

On becoming her character: “I really felt like she [Laurel] spoke to me, and off the page I understood who she was. And the fact that she was an attorney, it meant that I had to learn a little bit about law. It’s sort of like a muscle I’ve learned that you sort of have to practice. It’s been interesting and challenging, and it still is challenging. This was an area that I didn’t know much about I’ve had a lot of fun with.”
