Vancouverite actress Tania Saulnier has a thing about cleanliness. It's not obsessive-compulsive disorder; she just keeps playing characters
who are bathing or in need of a bath (and for that, kudos to the screenwriters and casting directors). In the alien-zombie horror
flick Slither, Tania plays a teen heroine who is attacked by evil slugs while taking a bubble bath and must battle them in the nude -- an
iconic sequence that is the basis for the film's poster and DVD cover. If you haven't seen it, don't get too excited: She's always covered
by strategically placed bubbles and props. Prior to Slither Tania did a stretch on the kids' series Caitlin's Way, but her cameo on Smallville,
as the girlfriend of a supervillain whose touch causes victims to freeze to death, sounds more interesting. "He touches me in the
shower," she recalls, "and I -- again I'm in the shower -- shatter into a million pieces." Tania's latest film is In the Name of the King: A
Dungeon Siege Tale, in which she plays the filthy peasant girl Tawlyn. "Claire Forlani and I are chained in a dungeon," she says. "I'm
grubby and dirty pretty much the entire film, and then in the last scene I'm cleaned up." And as you can see, she cleans up nice.
