NEW YORK — For Maggie Q, her new series, “Stalker,” hits close to home. But not too close, if Maggie can help it. She sees privacy, and guarding her personal space, as vital to her freedom.
Even so, she has had her own brush with a stalker.
“He thought he had a relationship with me that wasn’t happening,” she says, recalling the delusional fan. “I didn’t KNOW that person!”
As a past star of Asian-based action films, after which she played the title character of the CW thriller “Nikita” for four seasons, Maggie has done her best to evade off-screen attention of all kinds.
Now, in the early weeks of her new series, which airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. EDT on CBS, she has braced for an even greater challenge to her goal of staying out of the public eye.
