‘iZombie’s’ Rahul Kohli Talks ‘Supergirl’ Role

Rahul Kohli is set to appear on The CW twice this week,
beginning when the “iZombie” star makes a guest appearance on Monday
night’s “Supergirl.”

In the episode, Rahul’s character, Jack Spheer, will take the stage in front of an audience that includes Snapper
Carr (Ian Gomez), Kara Zor-El (Melissa Benoist), and his ex-girlfriend, Lena
Luthor (Katie McGrath), for a tech announcement.

“It’s kind of the unveiling of new technology,” Rahul told AccessHollywood.com of Jack’s debut on the show. “Jack Spheer’s been working on this [nano]-technology called Biomax and it’s basically microscopic robots that are able to heal injuries and cure diseases and it’s finally ready. It works and this is a demonstration of the technology taking place in National City, which is what brings Lena back into the fold, knowing that this was her ex-boyfriend.”

The presentation will see Kara getting back into the reporter
game as she stands up to ask questions at the presentation. 

But, according to
Rahul, Jack doesn’t mind the tough questions from the “Ace Reporter” (the name of Monday’s new episode).

“Jack actually doesn’t have anything to hide. It’s
interesting one. As far as Jack’s concerned, there’s nothing to hide,”
Rahul said. “There’s no reason to feel guilty or cornered by Kara. He’s a
smart dude and as far as he’s concerned, the technology’s safe and his
intentions are pure. But, Kara is finding breadcrumbs that say
differently.”

Rahul said he wasn’t aware of the comic book version of his
character when he landed the role.

“When the casting came through, I Googled it to do some
research because I wasn’t aware of the character. I was able to find some
information and I wasn’t inundated with a ton of it, so I was under the
impression it wasn’t like, super well-known. It’s not like you’re playing Bane
or the Joker. So, I managed to find out that … Biomax, the villain in the
comic book, was this toxic — this gas that could control minds,” he
said. “But even from the audition piece that I was given, I was aware that this
wasn’t the same take. It was actually a re-imagining of that character.”

“Supergirl” airs Monday night at 8/7c on The CW. “iZombie” airs Tuesdays t 9/8c.
