Kara has been Cast!

The announcement is here! Kara on Smallville will be played by Laura Vandervoort, a Vancouver actress.

“She’s a combination of beauty, intelligence, a certain warmth, and great attitude,” Smallville co-creator Al Gough tells PEOPLE. “We’ve wanted a character to shake things up. She may be Clark Kent’s cousin, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to be the obedient one!”

All I can say is VaVoom.
