Janina Gavankar A Shape-Shifting Opera Singer?

Q: "What inspired you to become an actress?"
A: "I was Maria in West Side Story in high school and I had an emotional response that was not my own, it was Maria’s but it was very real and it forever changed my life.  I was doing musicals because I was studying opera and voice. I wasn’t doing it because I wanted to be an actress and then something suddenly changed in that moment where I was like, omg magic."
Janina Gavankar is the latest addition to True Blood cast. She will star in the role of Luna the shape shifting teacher, who gets into a relationship with bar owner Sam, when the HBO hit vampire drama returns in summer 2011. Maybe she will be singing on the show!
