10 Things You Didn't Know About Melissa Benoist

7. Michael Fassbender's Biggest Fan

Benoist has worked with an impressive of array of actors over the past few years, with Oscar winners Al Pacino and J.K. Simmons among those she has appeared in films with. However, one name stands out for her as the cream of the acting crop (although she hasn't worked with him...yet):
"I'm obsessed with Michael Fassbender. He's unbelievable. I think he's a modern-day Marlon Brando. Every movie that he's done in the past couple years, I just died for him. He's extremely fascinating."
So, could the two appear together someday? It's interesting she compares him to Brando, who famously played Jor-El in the 1978 Superman film. Could we one day see Fassbender appear as one of Supergirl's relatives? Probably not, but it'd be awesome.
