Kate Atkinson is getting used to 
life in law enforcement- 
on screen that is!

Before landing the role of Constable 
Karen Miller on ABC-TV's popular 
Sunday night series SeaChange, Kate 
worked on Blue Heelers, as wife of Adam Cooper.

"Blue Heelers was just a fantastic show 
to start on", Kate said.
"I hadn't had much television experience 
at all, and Blue Heelers was an excellent 
place to learn"
"My character on that show was on the wrong 
side of the law which made it interesting for me".

"Playing the role of someone enforcing 
the law, and actually living it are two 
different things".
"I never thought I'd end up acting full time"
"But know I love it and can't imagine 
working in any other industry".

According to Kate, working with fellow 
SeaChange star Sigrid Thornton has been 
a wonderful experience.
"She's just an amazing actress"  Kate said.

"During the filming of the show, 
Sigrid had such a heavy workload, but she 
always found time to have some fun on the set.
She was very patient with the inexperienced 
members of the crew and didn't hesitate 
to give advice and help out"

"Sigrid's an actress who deserves 
all the credit She's received".

It is understood a second series of the 
quirky drama is already in production,
but Kate wasn't giving anything away..
