The Flash: Danielle Nicolet Previews “Masquerade”

Interview with actor Danielle Nicolet about The Flash episode “Masquerade” airing June 15 on The CW

Published

on

A new episode of The Flash titled “Masquerade” airs tonight (June 15) at 8PM ET/PT on The CW. The episode not only puts a spotlight on Danielle Nicolet‘s Cecile character; it also features the return of an familiar friend as well as a trouble-causing artifact. It’s also not all fun and games, dealing with some serious topics within.

FlashTVNews spoke with Danielle Nicolet in anticipation of the episode.

“I would tease it as ‘three episodes in one’,” Nicolet teased. “We get a revisit from one of my more favorite bad guys. It’s a horror movie, a heist film, and a truly traditional episode of The Flash, all in one.”

“It extremely entertaining in the very traditional way, but most importantly, the message that comes through about mental health awareness and anxiety and depression and that ‘it’s not be okay’ – I hope everyone takes that in,” she said, adding that they hope they take it in in such a way that they see that even metahumans with superpowers deal with “stuff” in life.

Danielle describes herself as “one of the biggest fans of horror movies you’ll ever meet,” so it was a treat to work with director Rachel Talalay who has directed many well-regarded horror classics, especially on the horror-tinged aspects of the episode. Talalay has also directed many episodes of The Flash in the past, as well as heming episodes of some of Nicolet’s favorite sci-fi shows such as Doctor Who. “I couldn’t have imagined a better choice to direct. We had the time of our lives,” she enthused.

“I happen to be one of the biggest fans of horror movies you will ever meet. And Rachel Talalay, our director has directed many horror films, some of them are classics. And she also has directed many episodes of flash in the past as well as produced and directed a lot of my favorite sci fi shows like Doctor Who. So I couldn’t have imagined a better choice to direct we had the time of our lives.”

Looking to the future, with the first five episodes of The Flash Season 8 featuring guests from other DC TV shows, are there any that Danielle Nicolet would like to see swinging by Central City?

“I would love to have work make an excuse for me and Javicia [Leslie, of Batwoman] to hang out. That woman is one of my faves, and a very lovely person,” Nicolet answered quickly.

“Also, I know that he’s not really on the show anymore, but if there’s ever an opportunity to bring Wentworth Miller back around, just because I’m a little bit obsessed with him, I would be happy to have an opportunity to have him around,” she adds, acknowledging that there are some really great people already in Vancouver in the universe of these characters.

“We have some really neat people. If they could bring Bitsie [Tulloch] or send Cecile over to hang out with her on Superman & Lois, that would be absolutely amazing,” she said.
