Here's Where You've Seen Young Kara in 'Supergirl' Before

People are loving Young Kara in 'Supergirl' — but do you know she was recast back in Season 3? Here are all the details.

Back in Season 3, we saw a significant recast in Supergirl: the actress who played Young Kara were swapped out. Malina Opal Weissman were the unique for three entire seasons before Izabela Vidovic stepped in. It's unclear why the decision to recast happen, however we do know that Malina went on to play Violet Baudelaire, who's the lead in A Series of Unfortunate Events, the similar 12 months she left Supergirl (2017).

So, it is likely that Malina were given an be offering that used to be too just right to cross up and left Supergirl. This is some distance from the first time a relatively minor personality in a TV show has been replaced by a unique actor. However, when you watched the latest episode of Supergirl and changed into reacquainted with the brand new(ish) young Kara, you might be questioning who the actress is. Here's what you need to understand!

Who performs Young Kara in 'Supergirl'?

Izabela Vidovic plays Young Kara in Supergirl, and it is likely you've seen her before. The 19-year-old actress performed Matty in Veronica Mars, Isobel in iZombie, Taylor in The Fosters, and has had a number of smaller roles in shows like Bones and The 100. Izabela started taking part in Young Kara in 2017, and has been in five episodes of Supergirl thus far. Izabela was born in Chicago to Croatian folks (her mom is a filmmaker, actress, and author — you'll have even seen her in motion pictures like Mary Poppins and Annie).

While Izabela plays a relatively small role on Supergirl, she's slowly development a social media following with 191k followers on Instagram and slightly over 12,000 fans on Twitter. And she additionally sings! "A short snippet of one of my originals, ‘Ride the Red Light.’ Songwriting is another passion of mine... stay tuned for more sneak peeks like this of my personal collection," she tweeted. You can follow her YouTube page here.

People in reality love her as Young Kara, too. "Olivia Nikkanen and Izabela Vidovic might be the best young casting on a show because I sit here watching these Alex and Kara scenes fully convinced I'm watching little Chyler and Melissa #Supergirl," a fan tweeted.

Another wrote, "you were AMAZING this episode, but this one scene? you nailed it as kara danvers, you’re the best choice!!" And it's true — Izabela in point of fact did look like a younger model of Kara (or actress Melissa Benoist).  

Another echoed that observation by means of saying, "SHE'S RIGHT!! I remember that the [first] time I saw you I thought "damn, melissa's make-up is so good, she really looks like an adolescent!" and then I was like "wait...that's NOT melissa!¡!¡!?"

As far as her personal life goes, Izabela is like any other teen girl. She likes to treat herself to baked goods on her days off. 

She has a boyfriend (whose name is Kyle Briskin — who appears to be a music producer and songwriter).
