The popular series of novels about a feisty young woman's quest to learn the truth about her family and embrace her destiny will be a six hour mini-series on ABC Family starting September 5th. We got to briefly chat with co-stars Brendan Fehr (of "Roswell" fame) and pretty newcomer Jamie Chung who plays lead character Heaven. As Jake Stanton, Brendan teaches Heaven martial arts tricks and helps prepare her for her true destiny as a Samurai warrior. First we cornered Brendan....

TeenTelevision: Brendan, tell us all about your character Jake on "Samurai Girl".

Brendan: My character is an ex-Army brat who had some involvement with the Yakuza [Japanese Mafia], in terms of possibly doing some extracurricular work for them. And you get the sense that he's now trying to change his life around and he's in hiding. Heaven comes along and you find out that I was her brother's best friend so she asks for help because she feels that her family has been infiltrated by the Yakuza.

TeenTelevision: How are you like Jake and how very different?

Brendan: [laughs] My character is much more dangerous than I am! You've always got to find something that you have in common with the character even if it's just the smallest things. I think his stubbornness. I think I hold that in common with a lot of characters I play. Characters who, for whatever reason are on the outside. It's not that I've ever felt on the outside but I do appreciate being alone. It's something that recharges my batteries and I hold that in common with a lot of my characters.
