I was visiting a XWP site and came across a "where are they now" page.
Strangely enough, it did NOT include
Craig Parker who played 3 different roles (sometimes the good guy, sometimes the villain) in XWP and went on to be a bad guy in Legend of the Seeker (Darken Rahl) and a really bad guy in Spartacus (Claudius Glaber) and Lord Narcisse (with a name like that, I'm betting another bad guy) in Reign.
We all should know where
Karl Urban ended up after his turn on XWP (His next movie is coming out this summer), but did you know
Danielle Cormack too played on Legend of the Seeker (Shota drove me crazy till I realized who her actress was) and like Mulgrew, she's ended up in "jail" playing Bea Smith in "Wentworth Prison".
The link did point out that
Charles Mesure played Blackbeard in "Once Upon a Time" (I did recognize him there and when he played Kyle on "V"). BUT I certainly did
not recognize
Rose McGiver when she played Tinkerbell on OUaT and even if I watched "I Zombi" I'm sure I wouldn't have recognized the "brains eating Doctor turned Zombi detective" as the Auckland actress who was my 3rd fav body snatcher Xena after Callisto and Autolycus.
Yes, we are talking about Daphne, from season 5's "Little Problems".
Oh, and not to leave directors/producers out of this list, but I perk up every time I see
John Fawcett's name in the Orphan Black's credits since he directed several of my fav Xena WPs, chief among them is "When Fates Collide".
Liz Friedman also went from writing/producing on Xena, to writing / producing several seasons of "House" , "Elementary" and the 1st season of "Jessica Jones."
Liz is responsible for one of my fav quotes about the Warrior Princess.
Paraphrased...
" Hercules is the hero we all hope is "out there", somewhere.... whereas Xena is the hero we all hope is inside US... somewhere."
Here's an interview with
Renee and
"the road to Xena".
