Nica Dasia - Did you already ride a horse before you start shooting ?
Torrance Coombs - Learned when I did Tudors and Heartland, but had to get a lot better
for Reign. I went out riding a lot in the early going until I got really comfortable.
Rachel Morris - Who is the Biggest joker on set?
Torrance Coombs - I get asked this a lot, and I'm afraid the answer is pretty boring. We
don't have one. Not that we don't have a laugh, but have precious few chances to get a
scene before we have to move on.
Linn Christin Dale - Hey, I'm from Norway, and Reign just started a couple of weeks ago
here. I'm completly obsessed, and I can't get enough! My questions is, where is the series filmed?
Torrance
Coombs - Toronto, Canada, with a number of scenes shot in Ireland as well.
Rania Shabi - What are the character traits that you actually have in common
with bash?
Torrance Coombs - capacity to love, and his general disdain for the rules of society.

Torrance Coombs - Probably Spider-man.
Joana Amorim - When is renly going to appear on reign ?
Torrance Coombs - I'm working on it.

Torrance Coombs - I think you need to refresh the page more often.
Mandy Brush - Can you say/do you know when Amy Brenneman's episode going to
air? And was she adorable to work with?
Torrance Coombs - She's in episode 13. Not sure when that airs exactly.
Jennifer Moore Allen - How did it come about, that you got the part for Bash? How has
your life changed since the shoe started?
Torrance Coombs - I have to bathe before I leave the house in case I get
recognized. How annoying.
Courtney Fettu - Why do you have to wear a WETSUIT when filming?!
Torrance Coombs - You'll just have to wait and see.
Varna Kesani - Hey Torrance! I love your acting and you are one of my favorite actors. I love how
funny and great you are! So my questions: Does Reign have blooper reel? I would LOVE to see that
& to you: If you could say one thing to a large group of people, what would it be?
Torrance Coombs - I'm
sure there's an extensive blooper reel, about 90% of
which is me swearing. I
haven't seen it though.
Yelaine Wang
- How do you like Bash's character? In what ways do you
like/admire the character,
in what ways do you personally dislike the character
and are there any changes
you like to made?
Torrance Coombs - For
a supposed playboy, he s
ure latches onto a girl and sticks with it. I'd like to see him
mix it up and break a few more hearts
Emily Elizabeth - your an amazing actor! Will more of the paganism come forth
in more episode.
Torrance Coombs - Yes. Lots more on the way.
Stephanie Lord - with all these fans and spot light do you ever have a moment
when you just want to feel normal again like before you started acting, if so
where is your favorite place to go to feel normal. your a great actor by the
way.
Torrance Coombs - Thankfully
I'm still at a point where my life is very normal. It hasn't got out of hand.
Toni N Bryan Horn - Do you think Mary will get back with Francis? It doesn't
matter who she winds up with because you both are good guys! I LOVE LOVE this
show!!! I hope it comes back!!! Will it???
Torrance Coombs - I reckon
Francis is coming back. History says it is so.
Tiffany Dawn Molina - Hey Torrance, is it hard speaking a different accent on
reign?
Torrance Coombs - Sometimes, although I'm mostly very
comfortable with it and don't have to think too hard about it.
Chilled Delusion - Torrance
Coombs You are doing ABSOLUTELY superb! Love you AND Francis
acting! *Smiles
big * ♡ Q. How far in advance do you guys record compared to when it airs?
Torrance Coombs - We're currently shooting episode 17. Not sure when it airs,
but if you find that info
then you'll get an idea of the turnaround
Amanda Ellsworth - Correct me if I'm wrong, but were you not in Heartland for a
while?
Torrance Coombs – Indeed I
was.
Nichole Cessna -Are you planning
on directing any if the episodes coming up?
Torrance Coombs - No
plans yet. I'd be in a bit over my head. Lots more to study first
Brittany Nicole Foulks - Bash really loves Mary and so does Francis do you think
Francis will ever go back and fight for her?
Torrance Coombs
- You can count on it.
Cyndi Logsdon Capik - Does it bother you that the show is
historically inaccurate? The first episode annoyed me because of it but then I
had to let go of my knowledge of actual events and just take it
as a good show.
Torrance Coombs
- It would bother me if we were misrepresenting ourselves and claiming this was the true history. I think there are enough
cues in the music/costumes to suggest this is a
a hybrid fantasy/history/fiction.
Mä Gär - Whats your fav
music, what type of music are you into?
Torrance Coombs - Some of my favs: Arcade Fire, Stars, Decemberists, Depeche
Mode.
MariaRosa Di Cicco - I watched last
episode of Reign: it's very clean your friendship with Adelaide Kane.. your
kisses were so shy. Did you feel embarrassed during the record of the scenes?
Torrance Coombs - Not at all. I think Francis still weighs very heavily on both
their minds.
Julia Ivashkov - What would be
your dream movie to play in? And what's your fave book?
Torrance Coombs - I'd love to work
with Wes Anderson or the Coen brothers.
Anamaria Coman - Is this your
first time acting? Really enjoying the show
Torrance Coombs - Nope! Been making a living at it for 9 years.
Allyssa Watkins - You're so brilliant, Torrance!!! How does Bash differ from
your Heartland character Chase Powers? In what ways are they similar.
Torrance Coombs - In many ways they started out similarly, but I think Bash has
evolved over time to have a lot more integrity and a stronger moral compass.
Sarah Rawding - Do you enjoy filming in Toronto or is it more of a hassle due
to the cities population and constant busyness? Ps. You're great!
Torrance Coombs - Love the city, but I'm on set so much these days I could
really be living in any city and my life would be pretty similar.
Keira S-Lepic - You also played in Les Tudors, historical television series
are your thing or ? kisses from france! #frenchReignfansdoitright
Torrance Coombs - I've actually done more modern shows than I have historical
ones, but I guess the period dramas stand out.
Vannie Lock - What other show do u watch beside #Reign?
Torrance Coombs - Current shows? Game of Thrones, House of Cards, Hello Ladies,
Ja'mie Private School Girl, Sherlock.
Maria Joyce Arellano - Are those pagan chants real or just made up?
Torrance Coombs I've been told it's just gibberish, but I'd be very interested
if someone tells me otherwise.
Ruda Roctka - How do you feel this roll challenges you compared to playing
Thomas Colpepper in the Tudors?
Torrance Coombs - This role is a lot more physically demanding. I also have a
lot more dialog so I've had to work harder on keeping my accent consistent.
Hannah Bradshaw - what is it like to have girls love/hate who you play???
Torrance Coombs - It's fun. I'm just happy people are loving and engaging with
the show.
Alma Aguilar - Do you miss The Tudors♥?
Torrance Coombs - It was a life-changing experience. I think I'll always miss
it.
Kelly Guy - What qualities in the character of Bash do you admire? How
would you like to see him grow?
Torrance Coombs - I'd like to see him rediscover his mischievous side. He's
been bogged down with responsibility lately.
Jessica Post - What can we expect in future episodes between Bash and
Francis will they become good brothers again or will they stay apart?

Sorry to those whose questions I didn't get to. There were over 5000 by the end and I couldn't keep up. We'll do another Q&A soon.
