Stargirl executive producer and writer Geoff Johns noted in a statement how glad he was to find Bassinger and have her sign on for the role, and said that her “warmth, strength, humor and positive energy are core to who Courtney Whitmore is,” meaning that it sounds a lot like we’ll get a very true representation of the character when she arrives on DC Universe to lead her own show.
If you haven’t heard of Brec Bassinger, that’s because her career is still fairly new.
According to IMDB, the actress got her first screen credit in 2013 for the TV series The Haunted Hathaways, and then went on to rack up credits on shows like The Goldbergs, Code Black, School of Rock, Chicken Girls and All Night.
