Ana De La Reguera Joins TNT Western Series 'Gateway'

By Michael Lopez

Who knew Ana de la Reguera had such an affinity with the old west? The Mexican-American actress is following her up role in Cowboys & Aliens with yet another 1880's-inspired drama, the TNT series Gateway.

Produced by the team behind HBO's Band of Brothers, Gateway will follow the lives of three brothers hunting outlaws in a small Colorado town. Up-and-coming actors Cam Gigandet, Keir O’Donnell, and David Denman will play the leads.

Ana's role has been described as a feisty saloon owner and, more than likely, a romantic love interest. Veteran actors Karen Allen (Raiders of the Lost Ark) and Donal Logue (Grounded For Life) will round out the cast.

De la Reguera seems pretty excited about the project, telling the Mexican paper Reforma:

"Creo que es de los personajes más fuertes que me han dado, hecho con el que estoy feliz porque va a ser un reto. Es una mujer que no duda en defender todo aquello por lo que ha luchado. Definitivamente, tanto de mis personajes en Estados Unidos como en México, éste es de los más rudos. Tiene un carácter fuerte, no se deja".

If picked up, Gateway should hit the TNT airwaves by next fall.
