Lucy Lawless is Such a Talented Actress


Lucy is such a talented actress all around in general, but I feel like you really notice it more when she's playing a different character on this series. Episodes like "Key to the Kingdom" or "Deja Vu All Over Again" for example feel like Xena-lite episodes even though Lucy is present throughout these whole episodes.

Yes she is.

I was just over at the Salem board and someone praised Lucy and they had never seen Xena. Lucy is still making new fans of her acting on her other projects since Xena.

She really is. Besides playing Xena, which she did phenomenally, look at how she played Diana, Meg, Leah, and made them all uniquely different characters. She was really good in Spartacus. I didn't like the show very much, but she was really good as Lucretia. She received a lot of recognition from fans and critics for her acting in that.

Even during season 1 when her acting wasn't the best she still possessed charisma and potential. Her improvement in her acting come Orphan of War in the season 2 premiere was tremendous.

Definitely no slouch. Definitely head and shoulders above an independent film...but not a Shakespearean level either. Id label her in the neighborhood of a soap opera level.


Stay tuned for the documentary: "From Wheaties to Fruit Loops...the Bruce Jenner story"

Yes she is. It is why she is still acting in great roles and people want her. The BSG role was created for her, as Parks and Recreation role is too. In Salem the producer says that wanted someone like Lucy Lawless for the role, and it is realize why not just get Lucy herself. Lucretia in Spartacu is the one she wins an Saturn award for. But I see from beginning in Xena that she is great actress.

💕ty all for very active Xena board.proof it's still so captivating💕

I loved her episode on Marvel's Agents of SHIELD.

They should have kept her around longer.
