Jeanne Tripplehorn
 A Conversation with Jeanne Tripplehorn
(Maj. Karen Harper)

Q: What is WORD OF HONOR about?
A: It's almost anachronistic--this old world sense of honor that, at the expense of his family and his personal life, Lt. Tyson is going to stand by his word of honor. I think the movie says the truth will literally set you free.

Q: What drew you to your character, Maj. Harper?
A: I love to play idealistic people. Those are the people that I root for in real life. I thought she had a lot of dignity and, that it would be an honor to play her.

Q: What is you character's role in the movie?
A: Each character has all of these really complex nuances about them. But I think the one thing that strings them together is that they all have a secret. Maj. Harper is the secret seeker.

Q: What is the relationship between your character, Maj. Harper, and Lt. Tyson?
A: It's a complex, complicated relationship because you would think they would be adversaries, since she is pursuing the truth and he is trying to hide it. But there is also a sense of attraction and a really deep respect between the two of them.
