SFUniverse.com interview with Bridget…
Into the Woods with Bridget Regan
Bridget Regan’s TV credits include The Black Donnellys, New Amsterdam and Law & Order Criminal Intent. All great experiences, but none of them properly prepared her for the role of Kahlan Amnell in ABC’s syndicated series Legend of the Seeker which requires her to ride horseback through the magical Midlands.
Bridget plays Kahlan, a “Confessor” who wields her magic as well as she wields a sword. Together with the wizard Zedd (Bruce Spence) and Richard Cypher, the Seeker (Craig Horner) she sets out to stop the invasion of the evil Darken Rahl.
The series is filmed in a studio in New Zealand, but Bridget and her cast-mates spend plenty of time trekking through the incredible forests of the area. When I caught up with her she wasn’t running from the dastardly Rahl, but running to the wardrobe trailer for a fitting.
This definitely isn’t Law & Order.
Bridget: Yeah, it’s quite the opposite of what I was doing around this time last year but it’s pretty amazing. The physical challenges, emotional challenges, they’re not for the faint of heart. I feel quite proud of myself that I’ve been up for it and been quite blessed to be challenged as much as I have been. All the wonderful teachers that I have out here, the directors, horse wranglers and stunt coordinators and everyone are just amazing, and I feel quite lucky to work with such talent.
Woohoo Briget!! love legends of the seeker!!
