Lucy Lawless

Eight years after her TV debut in sketch show Funny Business, Lucy Lawless won global fame as Xena: Warrior Princess. The series won her a devoted fan following, and invitations to guest star on everything from The Simpsons to bro' Town. Since the end of Xena's six season run, Lawless has acted in New Zealand and the United States, including locally-shot series Spartacus and an ongoing starring role in My Life is Murder.

I'm not really attracted to the role of a damsel in distress. It's so one-dimensional. I go for interesting roles. Lucy Lawless
