Xena: Warrior Princess Cast | Then vs Now (and who passed away)

[@TodaysDante]

30 years ago? Man! That was a fast 30 years.

[@stephaniepage4334]

I agreed with you

[@siqueirabarros]

Not if you stick to the episode "Been There, Done That" ⏳

[@Dancestar1981]

Im 43 yes totally possible

[@Dancestar1981]

I know feels like yesterday sometimes

[@TimelessIconUS]

Right? It feels like we blinked, and three decades just flew by! Time really does have a way of sneaking up on us. 🌟

[@caoillainn]

One of the best shows ever.

[@stephaniepage4334]

I agreed

[@ericmadsen7470]

Agreed. It had a great cast and I didn't have a problem with a likeable lead female role and I still don't. A respectable spin off of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.

[@Dancestar1981]

True

[@Dancestar1981]

All of them are recognisable they’ve just gotten older

[@damienlu7318]

Haha stop that lying.

Xena still looks good.😊

[@ernzer-cardeiramartine7229]

I loved Xena and Hercules and it was an fix TV date every sunday noon to watch them

[@kevinhartung8429]

Wow! Several of them are better looking now than then.

[@dohseyes5744]

Omgosh… I remember being so obsessed with Xena: The Warrior Princess. I was gifted dvd’s, posters and a small doll. I remember all the characters especially the bonds of friendship - Gabrielle/Lao Ma/Ares etc. The best of the best❣️

[@TimelessIconUS]

That’s amazing! Xena truly had a way of capturing hearts and creating unforgettable memories. The bonds between the characters, especially Xena and Gabrielle, were pure magic. It’s a show that stays with you forever-legendary in every sense! ❣⚔

Heidi (Hudson) Leick as Callisto was my fav character she was so obnoxious and cruel at the same time, best episode of hers was she and Melinda Clarke (Velasca) battled it out.

[@PlzStealMyFuckinName]

I loved that gleeful evil her character had. I used that photo they used here at 1:10 as a wallpaper for YEARS at work

[@stonechen2480]

I watched Xena for Callisto only

[@MsTemptation]

Bruce Campbell is still a hottie. I love it when aging just adds more character instead of distracting from it.

[@puritychalice]

Bruce could always get it. 😂

[@paul16451]

I still remember going to a Xena convention in San Francisco 1998 and getting to sing the Joxer song onstage with Ted Raimi. Great guy.

I miss those shows!! There were a lot of awesome shows in the 90s to early 2000s that I'm glad I can see now and again. :D

[@MjollTheLioness-o4y]

I met Ted Raimi while I was working at Unclaimed Baggage in Alabama. I was on break as he was leaving the store and asked him for his autograph. He was so kind and polite and seemed genuinely happy to do it. A real nice guy.

[@fadrianbartley4419]

I miss them, buy I still have the season five cd collection keeping as souvenir

[@ernestfowler2418]

Like many I, too, loved 'Xena' but I'm saddened that two of the character acters have passed away.

[@aliensounddigital8729]

These actors and actresses still look amazing. Would be cool if the cast of Xena had a cast encore after 30 years. Group photos and signings. The one's still kicking.

There is a con going on in Burbank next year.

Some of these characters, I'm like who? Don't remember them. Time to do a re-watch!

I doubt many do, many of them weren't on much, a couple of times or so

[@queenpinb1252]

I’m definitely going to re-watch. Have them all on dvd

Lucy Lawless now stars on AcornTV’s “My Life Is Murder”.

[@MsTemptation]

Carl Urban looks better with age. He filled out quite nicely. I love him on The Boyz.🙃🙃

[@therabbit317]

I was very surprised that was him.

[@Roguefem76]

@therabbit317 Really? He still looks very similar IMO. I didn't even realize the Homelander guy had been in Xena, though! 😳

[@MemphisFlash84]

I think he was also in Hercules as Julius Caesar…possibly the only actor to play different roles in the two series which were set in the same universe.

[@jdmoncada8205]

Lucy still looks amazing. I met Kevin at a convention in 2000. I was so star struck, but he was a wonderful guy.

[@queenpinb1252]

Meet him too. At Southport Rec centre. He was working out in the gym. It’s right beside a town called Portage La’ Prairie. I worked at the rec centre. Got his autograph

[@MsTemptation]

Melinda is still beautiful. Her eyes are so captivating. She was one of my favorite villains.

[@aravenlunatic9028]

What a great blast from the past. Wow. My only minor complaint is the narrator's mispronunciation of several character names (i.e. Gabriel instead of Gabrielle and Yolus instead of Iolaus). I remember my shock when Kevin Smith died suddenly and the unusual circumstances surrounding his death and how the show's cast and fans rallied to support his wife and kids. During its run,the show blazed trails,provided a voice to marginalized peoples,occasionally stoked controversy,and inspired many fans from all walks of life to find their own unique voices and use them to help others. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Stay safe and be well.

[@Roguefem76]

I remember Kevin Smith's passing too, it was not just a grief but a nasty shock. He was so young. 😞

You’d be shocked then that Young Iolaus from “Young Hercules” spin-off played Fili in The Hobbit and Ryan Gosling played Young Hercules in that same show.

[@superdave8248]

I knew guys who said Lucy Lawless was the hottie on the show. I always thought it was Renee O'Connor.

[@randomguyfromgermany]

Quite interesting... I`ve seen Xena more than one, and couldn`t remember half of the mentioned actores/roles. This doesn`t mean, that they did a bad job, but some of these actors appeared in one, or two episodes, where their names are barely mentioned. However... In my opinion, at least half of these people could be continue to play their part in an (unlikely) sequel. I mean, Lucy Lawless, Renée O´Connor, Bruce Campbell, and Ted Raimi, look extremely good (in both way: compared to their former roles, as well as their current look). Alexandra Tydings, Hudson Leick, Michael Hurst, and Karl Urban may need some "make-up", but aren`t in a bad shape, either. Kevin Sorbo is just a case of: "if the studio cares about politics, he`s out"... I, personally don`t care about the political views of actors, as long, as they a) don`t force their view on others, b) don`t harm other people, or races. Of course, the unfortunate death of Kevin Smith will affect a potential sequel, since, he was one-of-a-kind. Even, when he portraied "Ares, the God of Love" in the alternate univerese, Kevin was amazing.
