Take Gabrielle: Played by Renee O'Connor, she starts her arc on the show as a babe-in-the-woods type who tempers Xena's bloodier instincts. But as she learns how to fight and protect others, Gabrielle grows, changes, and discovers entirely new facets of herself. Eventually, Gabrielle becomes a celebrated bard, a skilled warrior, and an actual Amazon. While Renee O'Connor has continued working in television since her episode run on Xena , her career has stayed relatively low-key. O'Connor has appeared in a number of made-for-television movies including Last Chance, and the horror movies Monster Ark and Alien Apocalypse.
O'Connor's most recent screen credits are from , when she starred in the drama A Question of Faith and the family sci-fi movie Watch the Sky. If you're surprised by the seeming scarcity of roles on her resume, don't be — it's only because O'Connor has shifted from working on the screen to the stage. She's been in productions of Annie , Uncle Vanya , Mary Poppins , and Romeo and Juliet over the last few years, earning tremendous acclaim along the way.
Sure, it might be weird to imagine sweet Gabrielle as the fearsome Lady Macbeth, but O'Connor's skill is more than enough to make it work.
This might come as a surprise to even the most seasoned Xena fan, such is the strength of Raimi's performance. Joxer is a wannabe soldier who accidentally falls in with Xena and Gabrielle, who tolerate him in spite of his eternal incompetence.
Joxer eventually falls in love with Gabrielle, who briefly returns his affections while under a love spell. But it fades, of course, and Joxer ultimately marries one of Xena's many lookalikes, with whom he has many children. Because that's just how things roll in the Xenaverse. Ted Raimi has gone on to have a booming screen career since Xena's end. He also starred in his brother Sam Raimi's Ash Vs. But film is where Raimi's career has really taken off. Smoldering Ares is a complicated figure in the Xenaverse — particularly when it comes to Xena herself.
It is Ares that imbues Xena with her murderous warrior spirit, and Ares with whom she has a complex romance. He's complicated, stormy, and played to perfection by Smith. After Smith's time on Xena , he had a small uncredited role in the first The Fast and the Furious movie as one of the truck drivers. Smith was also in the martial arts fantasy film Warriors of Virtue 2: Return to Tao — but while filming Warriors of Virtue , Smith took a tragic fall.
He passed away at the age of His TV movie Riverworld was released posthumously in , and is his final film. Had he lived, Smith's next project would have been the Bruce Willis action caper Tears of the Sun , set to start filming just one month after his death. As Xena's nemesis Callisto, Hudson Leick is the picture of malice. A survivor of one of Xena's past rampages, she lost her village and her family to the warrior princess' bloodlust.
Over the course of 18 episodes, Callisto's sole ambition is to make Xena's life hell, whenever humanly or inhumanly possible. Callisto pretends to be Xena for a while, committing new atrocious crimes in her name to stir up public hatred. She even dies multiple times by Xena's hand, but is continually brought back.
She becomes a warlord, a demon, an angel, and even a goddess over the course of her vengeful journey. She's also been busy on the film front, booking appearances in the action thriller Cold Heart , the rom-com One, Two, Many, and a noirish mystery called Paris Connections.
Recently, however, Leick's career has undergone a major change. She now works primarily as a yoga instructor through her company, Healing Heart Yoga , through which she runs retreats, teaches classes, and even does astrology readings. When Xena: Warrior Princess concluded in with a controversial finale , viewers wondered why the creators chose to kill her off in such a brutal way.
Peppered with arrows, she is at last beheaded by a sword-wielding Samurai. Why the writers of the show chose to give Xena such a bitter ending is still discussed by fans today — but the creators stand by their choice. In the Xena: Warrior Princess series finale, a story from long ago in Xena's past is introduced.
Xena befriended a Japanese girl named Akemi who pleaded with Xena to mercy-kill her after Akemi killed her own father. Xena honored her wishes, but an attack by Akemi's villagers forced Xena to burn down the village in her defense. In the fire, 40, people died, and Akemi's father transformed into the demon Lord Yodoshi. All 40, souls became enslaved within him, and Xena chooses to allow herself to be killed to free the people she killed so long ago.
Although the Xena finale hinted at a possible resurrection for its lead, the series ended with Xena wanting to remain dead. Autolycus Where was I? Sign In. Episode guide.
