Where Is the ‘Xena: Warrior Princess’ Cast Now?

Lucy Lawless as Xena

Lucy Lawless got her big break when she first appeared as Xena in the first season of Hercules. Her character gained such a strong following that her own spinoff series was created and called Xena: Warrior Princess.

In the 30 years since making a name for herself, Lawless has continued acting in several television shows and films. Her next major role was D’Anna Biers in the hit show Battlestar Galactica and later as Lucretia in the Spartacus series.

Lawless also had recurring roles in Parks and Recreation, Salem, Ash vs Evil Dead and My Life Is Murder. In addition to her TV roles, Lawless acted in the films Spider-Man, EuroTrip, Bedtime Stories, The Changeover and Pike River.

While Xena: Warrior Princess helped launch her professional life, the series also helped her love life, as she married the show’s creator and executive producer, Robert Tapert, in 1998. The couple share two children, sons Julius and Judah, as well as a daughter, Daisy, from her first marriage to Garth Lawless.

Renée O’Connor as Gabrielle

Although Renée O’Connor had acted in a few shows and TV movies as a teenager, she rose to prominence when she played Gabrielle in Xena: Warrior Princess. After the series came to an end in 2001, O’Connor founded her production company, Roc Productions.

In addition to helping launch other films, she acted in Boogeyman 2, Beyond the Farthest Star and A Question of Faith. In 2021, O’Connor reunited with Lawless on season 2 of her TV show, My Life Is Murder.

“it was even better than I expected,” O’Connor said of acting together to Entertainment Weekly in 2021. “Because these characters were so different from Xena and Gabrielle so there was more to play with in current affairs and relationships.”

She has been married to Jed Sura since 2017, and the couple share one daughter, Iris Sura O’Connor. She is also mom to son Miles Muir, from her first marriage to Steve Muir. Like his mom, Miles has pursued acting and even worked alongside her.

Ted Raimi as Joxer

Ted Raimi was the third actor to appear in all six seasons of Xena: Warrior Princess as Joxer the Mighty.

In addition to working on the hit fantasy series, Raimi is also known for his roles in the Spider-Man trilogy, The Evil Dead, Ash vs Evil Dead and SeaQuest 2032. He later appeared in the TV series Twin Peaks, CSI: NY and Creepshow.

Raimi, whose brothers are director Sam Raimi and screenwriter Ivan Raimi, keeps much of his personal life off social media. Still, he frequently posts photos of him filming shows and movies, attending premieres and promoting his projects.

Hudson Leick as Callisto

Hudson Leick, who played Callisto, previously acted in Melrose Place before breaking out on Xena: Warrior Princess. Leick appeared in the first five seasons before announcing in 2000 that she wouldn’t be acting in the sixth and final season.

Leick went on to act in the movies Cold Heart, Hallowed Ground, One, Two, Many and Paris Connections. She also had roles in the TV shows 7th Heaven, Nip/Tuck and Shark.

Her last major project was Blood Type in 2018, and she has since pivoted her career to hosting yoga retreats across the U.S. Although she no longer acts, she keeps in touch with many of her Xena costars, specifically Raimi.

Karl Urban as Julius Caesar

Karl Urban‘s acting career took off after he played Julius Caesar in Xena.

After the show wrapped, he gained even more recognition for his roles in the films Ghost Ship, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, The Bourne Supremacy and The Chronicles of Riddick.

Urban continued scoring significant roles and acted in the Star Trek film franchise, Red, Priest, Dredd and Bent. In addition to his film roles, Urban has worked on the TV shows Almost Human, The Boys and Ark: The Animated Series.

Urban lives a relatively private life but posts behind-the-scenes photos from his acting projects. He has two sons, Hunter and Indiana, with his ex-wife, Natalie Wihongi.

Alexandra Tydings as Aphrodite

Alexandra Tydings, whose pronouns are she/they, played Aphrodite from seasons 2 through 6 on Xena.

Tydings continued acting and had roles in the shows Sheena, Another Pretty Face and We Have Many Skills.

In addition to acting, Tydings worked as a writer and director before pivoting her career to being an intimacy coordinator. She’s served as an intimacy coordinator on Poker Face, Y2K and City On Fire, according to her LinkedIn.

Tydings frequently advocates for the LGBTQ+ community and has children.

While she’s been acting for decades, she also founded Plan A Media Group, through which she consults professional creatives and filmmakers. Wilkinson keeps much of her private life off social media, but shares some snaps of her spending time with friends, working and raising money for charities.
