Claire Holt made a name for herself when she joined The Vampire Diaries in 2011 as Rebekah. When The Originals spinoff sent the Mikaelsons to New Orleans, Holt transitioned to the new show as a series regular and became a household name.
Halfway through season one of The Originals Holt announced she was taking a break from the series, which sent fans in a tizzy, stating that she wanted to go home to Australia and spend some time with her family.

According to The Wrap, Holt is also in the running to play Supergirl in the much-anticipated CBS drama. Television is jumping on the superhero bandwagon, and Supergirl will be the first comic book adaptation series with a female lead.
