Xena's Merry Men and the Pax Romana
George Strayton discusses alternate Season Five storylines and episodes.
Awakening Gabrielle
Would I be the recipient of a Xena sneer? A sympathetic, consoling Lucy promising to see me through this time of obvious brain drain?
Turkish baths & dancing Xenas
I had never done an interview in a Turkish bath. And I still haven’t. But Renee and I came really close during this one.
The dancing lady of Lyre, Lyre and nibbling on the god of war
“Renee's engaged!” I was calling Lucy at seven o'clock in the morning, her time, and I thought this would be a great way to wake up a sleepy Kiwi.
Franklin Exchange
Not many actors have had to enact two different death scenes for one character. But Australian actor David Franklin’s Xena: Warrior Princess alter ego Brutus was murdered on two different occasions, most recently in the season six classic When Fates Collide.
Making His Mark
Playing Octavius in Xena’s fifth season was an eye-opener for Mark Warren. As the Kiwi actor tells Ian Rentoul, the experience was one he’ll look back on fondly for a long time to come.
Adventures in the Skin Trade
How many people can say they've been responsible for giving Xena a black eye? Or turning Gabrielle into one of the bacchae? It's all in a day's work for Francia Smeets, Make-up and Hair Supervisor on Xena: Warrior Princess.
Hurst Choice
Michael Hurst, the versatile actor-director behind Hercules' best friend, lolaus, talks to David Bassom about his legendary exploits past and present.
All The World’s A Stage: Walk Like An Egyptian
Kate Barker looks on as our familiar Warrior Princess steps into the role of the legendary Cleopatra to shoot the late fifth season Xena episode Antony and Cleopatra, directed by Michael Hurst.
