Xena: Warrior Princess starred Lucy Lawless and Reneé O'Connor, in the roles of Xena and Gabrielle. The original choice to interpret Xena was the British actress Vanessa Angel[3], but an illness prevented her from travelling, so the role was offered to another four actresses before being given to Lucy. For Gabrielle, Sunny Doench was chosen, but she did not want to leave her boyfriend in the United States and Reneé was chosen. During the series, several names were being aggregated to cast, most of them natives of New Zealand. Actor Ted Raimi became an active actor in the second season onwards, in his role as Joxer. The late actor Kevin Tod Smith became popular in the cast from the third season as Ares. Other actors that were very popular among fans of the series was Hudson Leick in her role as Callisto (and occasionally Xena), Karl Urban as Caesar, Jennifer Sky as Amarice, Bruce Campbell as Autolycus, with Claire Stansfield as Alti, along with Adrienne Wilkinson as Eve, and Alexandra Tydings as Aphrodite.
