A Woman You Should Meet: Necar Zadegan
While she normally plays tough, hard-as-nails characters on TV, in real life actress Necar Zadegan is as warm as can be.
Zadegan began her career on Broadway in productions like “Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo”, but lately, she’s made a name for herself on shows like 24, The Shield and Emily Owens, MD.
Now, the gorgeous Iranian-American spends her summers filming Bravo’s Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce in Vancouver and spending time with her one true love: her dog.
How are you liking Vancouver?
Are you kidding? I love Vancouver, it’s stunning.
Do you ever take part in outdoor activities?
As a matter fact, that’s the benefit of not having friends and family in town — you end up doing a lot of that outdoorsy stuff. I ride my bike all over town and go hiking sometimes. I surf, too, but I don’t do it here because it’s too cold. I actually don’t even surf in California — I only surf in Hawaii because the water is really, really warm. I’ve skied in Whistler, but we don’t shoot the show when it’s snowing so we don’t get to enjoy the slopes.
Speaking of the show, tell me about your character, Delia.
I love playing Delia — she’s a wonderful character. To play a character who’s completely self made, hard-working, successful and full of ambition is amazing. She’s a modern woman with modern ideas about partnership and what marriage really is in modern society. Those are kind of the things she messes with all the time.
