Exclusive Interview: Bridget Regan Answers Fan Questions (Legend of the Seeker), Part II
By Ian Spelling on March 12, 2010

Kahlan’s white confessor dress isn’t gone forever, swears Bridget Regan. Rather, it’s merely tucked away in her backpack, at the ready whenever her current leather get-up just isn’t appropriate. That’s one of the typically entertaining and witty comments to be found in part two of our exclusive and extensive interview with Legend of the Seeker star Bridget Regan, an interview composed primarily of questions from you, our TVStar.com readers. So read on for more, as Regan talks about her love for Kahlan, discusses co-producing the upcoming stage musical Camp Wanatachi, and reveals which five Legend of the Seeker episodes to date rank as her personal favorites. And, finally, congratulations to dandoruinn, picked by Regan as the winner of the second of two autographed photos that she signed and sent our way.

You’ve said that Kahlan is noble and strong and always does the right thing. You’ve also said you wonder how she can be “so good” all the time. What do you think it is with Kahlan and the people she loves and the world she lives in that inspire her to be this ultimately “good” character? Where does the strength come from? (saykay)

It’s actually the weight of the world on her shoulders. I mean, can you imagine? They are actually responsible for saving the world! What makes her a hero is that in spite of what she wants, she does the thing that she thinks she cannot do. She looks fear in the face every day. And gets stronger every day for it. She has a massive heart. I think that’s where her strength comes from. She is incredibly compassionate. I also can’t forget what falling in love with Richard (Craig Horner) has done to her. I think she now understands what exactly she is protecting and fighting for.

Q&A: Legend of the Seeker’s Bridget Regan on Corsets, True Love & Being a Badass
By Allie Townsend March 11, 2010

Last week, I was lucky enough to catch up with Legend of the Seeker star Bridget Regan between takes on set in New Zealand. She plays the confident and lovely Kahlan Amnell, and she’s just as cool in person and you’d like to think.

And because New Zealand’s today is usually already our tomorrow – well, I was just glad we found a time to chat.

Allie Townsend: How did you create your own version of Kahlan and still remain true to the books?

Bridget Regan: I read the books before there was even a script for our show and I really gravitated toward Kahlan. That was the reason I decided to move to New Zealand and do this job without having seen a script, and I wanted to do it right because I felt there was a massive following of fans and I was joining the group as one of the fans of the series.

There were things in the books that I was thinking, “Oh gosh, how are we going to replicated?” For example, in the books her eyes are green and mine are blue and I thought I was going to be wearing contacts every day. There were things that we did change. My hair was really red and we decided to make it brown because that was more true to the book. It’s like I needed to come to a certain point to find my Kahlan without losing my sense of who I am. For me, it was more about finding the characteristics that are so strong in her within myself, finding this badass warrior within myself, and also this noble, powerful woman as well – things I didn’t always tap into in my normal, everyday life. Then it kind of became a squishing together of Bridget and Kahlan, that’s my Kahlan. And I just kind of kept my fingers crossed that fans would enjoy her.

It’s so personal when you read a book because you hear their inner dialogue, but what’s crazy now is that some fans will write in and say that they picture me when they read the books now.

TVStar.com interviewed Bridget using fan questions. Here’s a teaser with the link to the full interview. This is part 1 of the interview. There’s more to come!

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.

BRIDGET REGAN (Legend of the Seeker) Exclusive Interview
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 »
