LOTS SciFi Craig Horner Interview
Craig Horner plays the eponymous Seeker, Richard Cypher, in SCI FI’s new fantasy series Legend of the Seeker which premieres on Thursday 13th August. Craig took time out from his action packed shooting schedule on the set of Season 2 in New Zealand to let us know what we can expect from the fantastical Legend of the Seeker.
Have you always been a fan of fantasy or was the whole swords and sorcery world new to you?
I was a massive fan of fantasy. I had an older brother who was about thirteen years older than me and he brought me into the world of Conan and star Wars. He had all these movies lying around, he had comic books everywhere; he had lots of the original Star Wars figures. I was easily brought into that world of fantasy. There wasn’t a day when I wasn’t running around the back yard with swords and killing imaginary orcs.
What’s your favourite fantasy film?
I love Conan, but do you know what? I’m one of those weirdoes who likes the sequel to Conan.
Have you read the Terry Goodkind Sword of Truth books?
Yeah, I read the first one and I’m just getting stuck into the second one now. I’m a big fan of the Sword of Truth, I think it’s a really good book. I’m also a fan of Legend of the Seeker, I kind of think they’re two different entities. The way I can best explain it is that I loved the original Star Wars movies and from then they spawned off and they went and did all these things – TV shows, comic books, cartoons, novels. They took the galaxy if you will – the characters and the mythology – and they expanded it. That’s kind of like what we’re doing. So I have huge respect for what we’re doing and Terry Goodkind’s books as well.
