On Tuesday I was very excited to take part in a media conference call with Jolene Blalock who will be playing Sister Nicci in some upcoming episodes of Legend of the Seeker.

** Beware of spoilers ahead. If you don’t want to know about her upcoming episodes please don’t read any further. **

There were also several other bloggers, TV critics and podcasters present on the call as well. Some of them were from websites that I can personally recommend such as Sci-Fi Talk, The TV Chick and SF Universe.

You can find part one of the recap here.

Below is a recap of what was covered in the second half of the call.

Question – Can you tell us what Legend of the Seeker role you had originally auditioned for?

Jolene Blalock – Honestly it was so long ago…it was for a small part I do remember that. The producers told me later they didn’t want to use me for that part. They were just waiting for the right character which is very flattering.

Question – Were you familiar with the books or the TV show before you auditioned?

Jolene Blalock – Honestly I wasn’t. Once I learned about the character Sister Nicci that’s when I started doing my research.

Question – Can you share some thoughts on working with some of the cast such as Bridget, Craig and Tabrett?

Jolene Blalock – Tabrett was incredibly hospitable to me. We would go out for coffee and stuff like that. Being so far from home…that was incredibly special for someone to do that; especially as hard as they work. Craig, who I did most of my scenes with,…I give him kudos…he’s an incredibly hard worker. Bridget was just incredibly kind. They’re a special group.

Below is a recap of what was covered in the first half of the call. I hope to post the second half of the call recap tomorrow. We also published our latest podcast tonight so I just ran out of time trying to cover everything.

Question – I want to know a little bit more about your character Sister Nicci?

Jolene Blalock – Sister Nicci is introduced as a sister of the light but later defects and becomes a sister of the dark. Regardless of her label…I firmly believe that Sister Nicci is inherently good and innately pure. She has lost focus of the bigger picture because she’s become blinded by her own passions…the passion of her own intentions…which she truly believes are the way to go, the path to take.

Question – What has it been like filming the show, especially in New Zealand?

Jolene Blalock – New Zealand is an incredible place to shot…the landscape is breathtaking but even more special are the people. The cast and the crew they went out of their way to make me feel at home and were just incredibly hospitable to me and I am grateful for their effort.
