Groovy as List Question

I ran across this bit of code and to me it seems like its not needed is there any reason to do the following

def answers = [] as List

instead of 

def answers = []

In groovy I thought that [] was the empty list so there would be no need to have the as List

No, there is no difference, both create an ArrayList and List (java.util.List) is an interface anyway.
