Adair Tishler Interview with EW

Ten-year olds in Hollywood sure grow up fast, huh? Entertainment Weekly has an interview with Adair Tishler, who plays the pivotal role of Molly Walker on the show. The entire second season seems to revolve around young Molly and her nightmares in one form or another, including Molly’s grave warning of a “bogeyman” that is even more dangerous than Sylar could ever hope to be. There are NO SPOILERS in the interview, it’s mostly just about young Adair.

Here’s an excerpt from the interview:

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How would you describe Molly?
ADAIR TISHLER: Molly is just a fun-loving girl. She’s raised by two men so I suspect she might grow up to be a tomboy. She’s a little paranoid because she did see her parents get killed in front of her.

What’s your power?
My power is I can find anyone or anything. I would love to have that because I lose a lot of stuff.

Why do the bad guys want your power?
Think about it: Sylar wants everybody’s power, but to have their power, he has to find them.

Where do we find you in Season Two?
Molly is living with Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) and Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg). She’s trying to find out who the boogie man is, but she’s afraid to. She knows that she’s in grave danger, but the men don’t really understand. I don’t want to look for the bad guys and the men do want me to, so they can stop them.

Gah, I never feel comfortable reading or watching interviews with child actors on TV. They almost never sound or act like kids.
