Our Exclusive Interview With Craig Horner

[Michael]

Xenite.Org has now published its exclusive interview with Craig Horner. Here is an excerpt:

Craig Horner stands in no one's shadow. With 10 years' experience, the 26-year-old actor (who just celebrated that birthday on January 24) now leads a talented cast in bringing Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth fantasy novels to life. In fact, there are so many famous names associated with the internationally syndicated Legend of the Seeker fantasy adventure series that it almost seems like the show was destined for success. Sam Raimi ("Spider-man", "Darkman") and Rob Tapert ("Hercules: The Legendary Journeys", "Xena: Warrior Princess") are the executive producers. Bruce Spence ("The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", "Australia", "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith", "The Matrix Revolutions", "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome") is one of Craig's co-stars.

When we spoke on the phone Craig was still working on the second season, with five more episodes to shoot. How does it feel compared to this point in your schedule last year? I asked. "Pretty grueling," Craig confessed. "When it's all done I can rest and recoup and I can really enjoy that. I guess last year I knew the day I wrapped I would go to the United States."

Not for rest and relaxation. Apparently Craig was sent on a whirlwind press tour to help promote the show. This year he is hoping to appear at a major convention in the United States. He's pretty excited about that as it came up a couple of times. If it happens this will be Craig's first American entertainment event.

The interview includes two sidebars that fans of Jay Laga'aia and Michael Hurst should appreciate as well.

And with this update to our Legend of the Seeker fan site we've also added a Web directory and a small gallery (that I expect will grow over time).

This is a great interview and it touches on a number of major science fiction and fantasy shows.

Thanks, RobRoy.

And to the people who are submitting Websites for the directory, I'll update the site again this weekend.

Thanks!

We've received a lot of positive feedback on Twitter and several fan sites. The article has also been mentioned on a couple of news sites, too.

Most especially, thanks to Craig for taking the time to talk with a fan site. I hope other fans get a similar opportunity down the road.
