A quick glance at Evangeline Lilly’s IMDb page reveals a filmography that’s surprisingly short on quantity. But look at what is there: a groundbreaking and beloved TV series (Lost), a Best Picture winner (The Hurt Locker), and, oh, a tiny two-movie project known as The Hobbit.

Last year, Lilly starred in the robot-boxing family film Real Steel, which earned nearly $300 million worldwide and received an Oscar nomination yesterday for its motion-capture visual effects. She played Bailey, the former girlfriend of Charlie (Hugh Jackman) who now owns the boxing gym he frequently visits.

EW recently checked in with Lilly to chat about Real Steel, which debuted on Blu-ray and DVD this week. Click through to read the interview, in which Lilly discusses why she signed up for the role, what it was like working aside animatronic machines, and her upcoming role as a kickass warrior elf in The Hobbit.

Evangeline Lilly has previously revealed how her character in the movie The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, is not an authentic character from the book. However, that has not stopped the actress from having some great fun on the set of the film. Evangeline also admitted that she is not really a fan of science fiction, which makes her career so far very interesting.

“Yeah, for a young woman who’s really not into sci-fi, I’m very confused about my film choices. I’m having the greatest time in the world in New Zealand. I was a huge fan of J.R.R. Tolkien growing up, and if I had to choose anything I could have pretended to be in those books, it would have been, hands down, without question, an elf. And I am playing an elf. And it’s the most fun. It’s the greatest thing ever. My ears are the biggest things you’ve ever seen, and I love them.”
