Seeker Finds an Oscar Nominee - Keisha

Bridget tweeted that she will be going back to work with an Academy Award nominated actress, after some speculation yesterday it has been confirmed that Keisha Castle-Hughes will guest star in episode 15 as a character named Maia who believes she is the living embodiment of The Creator.

Keisha Castle-Hughes has signed on to star in an episode of syndicated hit "Legend of the Seeker."

Castle-Hughes will be filming her appearance this week, shooting in her native New Zealand. The 19-year-old actress will play a young woman claiming to be the living embodiment of a God. She apparently has plenty of power to go with that confidence, so it's up to Richard (Craig Horner), Kahlan (Bridget Regan) and Zedd (Bruce Spence) to find out the truth about her identity.

In 2004, Castle-Hughes became the younger performer to be nominated for the Best Actress Oscar for her work in the feature "Whale Rider" (losing to Charlize Theron for "Monster"). She later played Mary in "The Nativity Story." If you've been missing her since then, she appeared in something called "Hey Hey It's Esther Blueburger" and in the New Zealand telefilm "Piece of My Heart."

2.13 - Additional Casting Call - Sister Nicci ?

Here is a late additional episode 13 casting call for a Sister Nicci...

[SISTER NICCI] - 20's.. Breathtakingly beautiful, alluring, brilliant and ultimately amoral. Nicci is a Sister of the Dark in disguise, hoping she can manipulate Richard (Craig Horner). RECURRING


This is a strange one mainly because Jolene Blalock has been all but officially confirmed as Nicci and an official press release stated that she was due to start filming her recurring role as a 'mysterious Sister of the Dark' during the week of October 12th. Previously released casting sides put Nicci in episode 9 [ 2.09 CASTING SIDES ]

They are currently filming the Michael Hurst directed episode 12 with guest star Ted Raimi.

This begs the question, why are they now looking for a Sister Nicci for episode 13 ?!

Legend of the Seeker in Times Square - Photos!

A live web cam was available to view throughout the Legend of the Seeker event which was held earlier today in Times Square New York.

We managed to take a few screencaps of the event via the webcam. From the pictures you can make out the Mord'Sith, the Legend of the Seeker car, the camera crew and the crowds.

I'm pretty sure Bridget and Craig were both present but unfortunately, I can't make heads or tails of them from the images. There is also a "proper" photo of the car which was visible from the webcam.

Still, it's not bad considering I'm sitting at home in London, UK watching an event thousands of miles away! I'm hoping someone who was actually at the event is nice enough to share their photo's with us.

Enjoy.

UPDATE: We now have three great quality photos thanks to a visitor from this site and also lots more from The Confessor and Seeker Society. They've been added to the gallery. Check them out below!
