These days super heroes are everywhere. But not many have someone they can rely on as easy on the eyes as Natalie Morales who plays Wendy Watson in the new ABC Family comic book to TV series The Middleman. Destined for a life of temp-job mediocrity, Wendy was recruited by The Middleman (Matt Keeslar) to help save the world from a variety of quirky and crazy creatures, including a trout zombie. With the series now in full swing on Monday nights at 10pm, we caught up with Natalie to pick her brain on what we can expect to see in upcoming episodes, how she handles the show's stunt work, and the popularity of the series as related to the comic book.

THE DEADBOLT: In real life, how are you with weird things? Are you jaded or do you freak out?

NATALIE MORALES: No. I grew up as an only child, so I’ve always kind of been curious and interested in a lot of stuff. So, in that, I think Wendy and I have a lot in common.

THE DEADBOLT: What do you enjoy most about playing Wendy?

MORALES: I don’t know, I guess I have fun with her. They kind of let me have free range on the comedic styling’s of Wendy Watson. I guess I deliver lines in a crazy fashion if I feel like it, and I love doing that. I love the fact that she’s sort of the comedic relief of the show. Even though Ida pretty much fields the show, she’s very funny.

THE DEADBOLT: What’s the stunt work like?

MORALES: The stunt work is pretty interesting, actually. Greg Barnett, who’s our stunt coordinator, is just amazing. If you look him up on IMDB he has 300,000 credits and he just rules. So he just teaches me stuff and I actually get to do a lot of my own stunts. I’ve done wire work and a bunch of things like that, a lot of falling, and I actually love the stunt work. I really do.

THE DEADBOLT: Are we going to get to see Sensei Ping in the future?

MORALES: You are. You’re going to see him this week and he rules. Mark Dacascos is like the coolest dude ever. Wait until you see him fighting. You’re going to just flip out. He’s amazing.

THE DEADBOLT: So, what's up with the zombie trout? What can you tell us about that?

MORALES: Yeah, that’s where I fight the fish. The episode is about a company that makes an energy drink and puts both the venom and the cure to being a trout zombie in their energy drink so that you become addicted to it. So if you don’t have more of these drinks, you eventually become a trout zombie.

THE DEADBOLT: Where is the series shot?

MORALES: It’s shot in L.A. but we shot the pilot in Vancouver.

THE DEADBOLT: I thought the alleys looked familiar in Vancouver.

MORALES: Vancouver is beautiful... Vancouver is a great town.

Other Conference Call Highlights:

Natalie Morales on what attracted her to the role of Wendy:

"Well, I really liked the fact that they wanted a Latina for the role and it wasn’t the regular, stereotypical looking - I wasn’t, you know, smoking hot and sexy, stealing that away from people. She’s just a regular girl who is a lot like me, a lot like my friends, and I think that’s the really cool part about her that turned me on to to it the most."

Morales on the strangest thing she’s done on set:

"As Wendy, punching a fish and getting into a fight with a fish. As Natalie, getting into a fight with a fish that wasn’t actually there. So that’s the weirdest thing I’ve had to do so far."

On working with Kevin Sorbo:

"Well, he is awesome, let me just say. His guest role - he is a Middleman who came before Matt and he’s come back to help us out on something. It’s a very interesting role and I love this script, so I’m really excited about it."

On why Wendy sometimes wears glasses and other times not:

"It’s kind of like a Clark Kent kind of thing. Whenever I’m in the Middleman outfit or doing Middleman type work, I’m not in the glasses. And whenever I’m regular Wendy, I am in the glasses. And it’s not super strict. Sometimes I’m not in the glasses when I’m Wendy. You know, she may use contacts, it happens. That’s the general rule."

Morales on whether she’s read the comic book:

"Of course I have, yeah. It’s really great, I’m actually sad that there probably won’t be any more. I don’t know if there’s going to be any more, but I love the comic book. A lot of our scripts are directly from the comic book."

Natalie Morales on the show's target audience:

"I know there has to be a target audience, officially, but I would say it’s probably anywhere from 8 to 45. Although one of our directors, Norman Buckley, showed it to his 82-year-old mother and she loved it. So I don’t know."
