Exclusive Interview: Bridget Regan Answers Fan Questions (Legend of the Seeker), Part I
By Ian Spelling March 8, 2010

You had lots and lots (and lots) of questions for Bridget Regan and, as promised, the lovely leading lady of Legend of the Seeker has taken the time to reply to 20-plus of them.  We at TVStar.com think you’ll agree that her answers are by turns fun, serious and informative — and this is only part one of our exclusive interview.

By the way, congratulations to TVStar.com reader Balaamsdonkey, whose very funny and observant question was chosen by Bridget as one of the two best submitted and who wins the first of our autographed photos of Bridget.  So here goes part one of the interview and be on the lookout for both part two and our second winner of a Bridget Regan-signed picture.

The first-ever scene in Legend of the Seeker shows you riding a horse through a beautiful countryside, chased by ugly D’Harans.  I think it drew a lot of people into the show.  When you shot it, did you know that scene was, in a sense, going to introduce the show and could possibly make or break it?  How much pressure did you feel shooting that scene? (darkbahamut88)

Maybe it was a bit daunting.  I knew that it was the first time the audience would meet Kahlan…meet MY Kahlan.  The script said, “a fierce warrior of stunning  and great courage.”  Needless to say, I had fallen in love with her, and I wanted to do her right.  Do her justice.  But in the last moment, I had to let that go.  (I had to) concentrate on getting to the boundary and finding (Richard) and putting the book in his hands…and cantering in a corset for the first time and not falling on my bum.

E! Online Interview With Bridget
February 12, 2010 11:24 pm

If you’re a fan of the syndicated fantasy series Legend of the Seeker, you must not miss this weekend’s all-new “Torn.” It features some ultrasexy Richard-and-Kahlan scenes, and we just chatted with Bridget Regan exclusively to find out why the Confessor and the Seeker are making out, plus we got scoop on how come the show shook up season two with a new castmember and a new look for Kahlan…

OK, so we hear this weekend’s episode is a big one for Kahlan—tell us what’s she in for.

The episode is called “Torn” and Kahlan is summoned to Aydindril, which is her home normally, and where the Mother Confessor would preside and live. She goes, and something really horrible happens, and Kahlan gets literally split into two. So, I have the absolute pleasure of playing nearly two different roles. And one side or the other can completely go out of control, especially when one side has this magical power that can really take over when it’s not balanced with emotion and compassion and so forth.

by Sandie February 12, 2010

I recently got a chance to talk to Bridget Regan, who plays Kahlan Amnell on Legend of the Seeker, about this week’s new episode “Torn” which will see her character go through quite a trip.

It’s no secret that I have been a huge fan of Bridget Regan since the beginning of Legend of the Seeker (you can read my previous interview with her here). she is a really talented actress that is just getting started in her career. I anticipate we’ll be soon seeing a lot more of her.

Bridget Regan talked about what you can expect from “Torn,” what’s coming up in the rest of the season, some of her upcoming projects, and much more. So make sure to tune in this weekend and watch Legend of the Seeker’s new episode “Torn” (go to the official website to find your local time & channel). But for now enjoy the interview! Read more »

Slice of Sci-Fi Encore Interview!
December 26, 2009 11:03 am

Last month we mentioned that Slice of SciFi was taking votes as to what interviews they should replay during their winter break. Thanks to you all Bridget received 192 votes, that’s 161 votes more then then her closest competition! Slice of SciFi is more then an internet show, it’s also broadcast over satellite radio so there’s a huge audience out there that gets to hear Bridget every time her interviews are broadcast. These interviews are always very good and very lengthy so the more we show our support for Bridget the more likely we are to get more interviews.

So, head on over to http://www.sliceofscifi.com/2009/12/26/slice-of-scifi-245/ and tell them how much you enjoy Bridget’s interviews and that you’d love more in the future!

Bridget Regan heating up Legend of the Seeker
by Ian Spelling December 19, 2009

If what she was seeking was success, consider it a done deal.

Bridget Regan’s show, Legend of the Seeker, is a hit, the only first-run syndicated series in recent memory to score with viewers worldwide.

But making the fantasy program, now early in its sophomore season, has demanded much more of its leading lady than she expected.

Regan, who stars as Kahlan, the powerful, magical and gorgeous Confessor sworn to protect the Seeker, Richard (Craig Horner), suddenly found herself on the other side of the world in New Zealand, playing a major character and dealing with elaborate costumes, complicated special effects and dangerous stunts.

“It was crazy at first,” Regan says, speaking by telephone during a rare day off.

Exclusive Interview: Bridget Regan (Legend of the Seeker)
By Ian Spelling December 12, 2009

What’s a feisty, confident, beautiful and tall (5′-9″) actress to do?  Well, if you’re Bridget Regan, you audition for, win, and play the role of Kahlan, the butt-kicking, dagger-wielding sorceress, called a Confessor, in Legend of the Seeker.  The television series, based on the Sword of Truth novels by Terry Goodkind, is now in its second season and doing just fine in first-run syndication.  New episodes are currently airing, and Kahlan still loves and protects the would-be Seeker (Craig Horner), but can’t ever be with him despite their mutual feelings for one another.  Complicating matters is the presence of Cara (Tabrett Bethell), a tough-as-nails and gorgeous Mord’Sith now fighting for the forces of good along with Richard, Kahlan, and the wizard Zedd (Bruce Spence).

PopStar recently caught up with Regan — who hails from California, spent much of her early career in New York City, and shoots Legend of the Seeker in New Zealand — for an exclusive interview.  In it, she discusses things to come on Legend of the Seeker, reveals what she wishes could happen between Kahlan and Richard, and celebrate her 3,000-plus Twitter followers.

How confident were you that Legend of the Seeker would be picked up for a second season?

I was pretty confident.  When our makeup artist bought herself a new car, I was pretty sure then.  I was like, “You wouldn’t be buying that car if you didn’t think we were going again.”  (Producer) Rob Tapert had told me it was 99.9%.  But there’s that skeptic inside of you that goes, “I don’t want to count on this and then not have an idea of what I’d do if it didn’t go on.”  I was pretty sure, though.  I felt like we were getting into a really great groove at the end of season one, and season two is, I think, already a real better show than it was last year.

Seeker Stars Agree Their Roles Are Second Skin
Posted Monday December 7, 2009

Legend of the Seeker has amassed such a loyal following, it’s almost as if fans have been happily zapped by the ‘Mother Confessor.’  The series became so popular that it was awarded a full second season after only a handful of episodes—and the charming lead actors receive rock star-type receptions.  Craig Horner (Richard Cypher-Rahl) and Bridget Regan (Kahlan Amnell) spoke with WBNX during a recent publicity tour.  Here are some excerpts from the interview:

There are new evil forces terrorizing the Midlands…

CH:  “Yes, at the end of the first season we defeated Darken Rahl, which was our main goal—but in doing that, we’ve now embraced Wizard’s Second Rule, which is ‘the greatest harm can come from the best intentions.’  So even though we’ve rid the world of Darken Rahl, so to speak, we’ve torn the veil to the Underworld…”

BR: “There are these creatures we’ve never seen and people that we’ve killed who are coming back to get us.  So now we’re out to defeat The Keeper (of the Underworld), who is Baddie Number One.”

CH: “And we’re also happy about (Rahl’s life-after-death), because we love Craig Parker.  He’s got a lot of good energy, he’s great.”
