Bridget Regan shares her tips for healthy living
by Ashley Mateo May 21, 2010

Bridget Regan’s cult series Legend of the Seeker, a supernatural action-adventure, ends this weekend, but we talked to the star today to get the inside scoop on her the finale, upcoming projects and her healthy lifestyle.

SELFy Stars: So tomorrow marks the end of Legend of the Seeker. So sad! How did it feel, bringing the show to an end?
Bridget Regan: It was a surprise because the second season has been going so well, but there are so many factors that don’t really have to do with what I do everyday, so you know, it’s not my realm of control and I’m just rolling with it. We did 44 episodes, which is a lot for a TV series, and it feels like it was longer than two years to me. We have an amazing fanbase, which is one of the things that’s so disappointing, because there’s such an appetite for the show. And I know the fans have been really fighting and pushing and raising money and putting ads out and making all these efforts to keep the show going and I know that they’re incredibly disappointed, and that’s hard, you know?

What comes next for you?
I’m producing a musical called Camp Wanatachi about two girls who fall in love at Christian summer camp. It’s really funny and fun and beautiful and it’s got really cool music, it’s got really neat downtown-sounding music that has never really meshed with musical theatre before. And I have a film called The Best and The Brightest coming out soon with Neil Patrick Harris and Amy Sedaris. It’s soo funny and the total opposite of Seeker, so it was really great. I play NPH’s ex-girlfriend. He and his wife are kind of having to put on this ruse to get their child into private school in Manhattan, so they hire Amy Sedaris, this powerful wiz at getting kids into school with connections and coaching. He ends up needing to pretend he has a mistress to charm this very powerful man played by Christopher McDonald. So he calls me up and I’m this crazy out-of-work actress who takes the bait a little too seriously and is in for more than just helping him out. She’s a bit delusional, which was a lot of fun. Neil Patrick Harris was absolutely amazing. I’m a huge fan of musical theatre, so I’ve seen a lot of his work and I was absolutely thrilled to work with him. He’s hilarious and charming and lovely and everything you’d think he would be.

Bridget Regan talks the conclusion of ‘Legend of the Seeker’ & her future plans!
by Travon Epps & Meriam Bouarrouj May 21, 2010

Bridget Regan has been seen playing a variety of roles, but perhaps she’s most known for bringing to life the character of Kahlan in the ABC Studio Sci-fi drama Legend of the Seeker. Regan has had to say farewell to the character this season as the show is set to air its series finale this weekend, a series she says she will always look back fondly on. She recently discussed with me what she’ll cherish most from her role and time on Legend of the Seeker, what fans can expect from the finale, as well as the exciting projects up next for her!

What has most appealed to you about your role of Kahlan in Legend of the Seeker?

Bridget-I like that she’s a killer. (Laughs) I don’t know why that sounds so funny to me but I like that she’s different and that on one side of her she’s really compassionate and a really good person and fighting for what’s right and fair, yet the other side of her is this ruthless killer. I like that.
