Wood says playing Kai again was the perfect return to acting after leaving Supergirl.

I would love nothing more than to see that character again.

And now, halfway into the shows second season, its time forKai to meet the Saltzman twins.

Julie basically didnt leave me any choice, in the best way possible.

Wood recalls with a laugh.

And the opportunity came at the right time.

Wood had just come off an acting break after spending multiple seasons on the CWsSupergirl.

After I leftSupergirlI had sort of taken a hiatus, Wood says.

It kind of just happened once we were shooting, and thankfully it was pretty painless.

Kai as he was onVampire Diariesfits intoLegaciesquite well.

If anything, hes more annoying and more willing to play with his victims before he kills them.
