?I was terrified at first to be playing Lois Lane,? says the 27-year-old native of Three Hills, Alberta, a farm town about 60 miles northeast of Calgary. ?Luckily, I didn?t have time to think about it. I got the part on a Friday and started shooting on Monday morning. The Lois I?m playing is a lot younger than Teri Hatcher?s Lois or Margot Kidder?s Lois, though, which gives me more freedom.?

Erica?s Lois is heading down the home stretch of her second season on the five year-old series. Thanks to story lines that have seen her get felt up by Aquaman and go undercover as a stripper, hers is the sexiest take on the character to date. Erica is just fine with that.

?It would be nice if fans thought I was the sexiest Lois Lane,? she says. ?Usually they comment on my Lois?s humor and that she?s ballsy. They like her sass, and that she isn?t falling head over heels for Clark. Lois Lane is sexy, sassy and smart. What woman doesn?t want to be that??
And looking at Erica?s FHM debut, what man wouldn?t want to be banished from Krypton?s cruel, red sun?

"They like her sass..."
