Amy Acker will be appearing in episode 1×11 ‘Tarantella’ to air this week! She plays a spider like creature that seduces her victims in order to feed on them. Now she is talking a bit about why she was so excited to get this role!

Acker previously said that there’s more to her character than meets the eye. The story may seem like a woman out to get revenge against men but her character will be battling a difficult inner struggle and does what she has to in order to live.

EnterpriseJim: Got Grimm? Once Upon a Time?
You’ll get both and you will like it. We just chatted up Amy Acker, who reunited with her Angel EP for her role as Grimm’s monster of the week this Friday. “I love him to death so I was so excited to get the phone call,” the sweet-as-Fred actress told us today about David Greenwalt. “When I read the script and saw I got to play such a fun, crazy, different character, it was just an added bonus.” Acker’s also coming up on Once Upon a Time, in which she’s playing “the complete opposite” of her Grimm character: Grumpy’s girlfriend! “I’m hitting all the fairy tales,” she joked. Wow. Grumpy is seriously batting out of his league. Way to go, little man.

Are you excited to see Acker on Grimm? How do you think her character will affect Nick?
