The Cast of Xena: Warrior Princess — Where Are They Now? (3 of 5)

4. Kevin Smith

Much like Lawless herself, Kevin Smith got his start as the character Ares on Hercules: the Legendary Journeys. If you want to blame anybody for making Xena the bloodthirsty warrior that she is, it’s Ares. The two characters were also involved in a complicated romantic relationship. Sadly, Smith died at the age of 38 after an accident on set of the movie Warriors of Virtue 2: Return to Tao.

5. Ted Raimi

Although Lawless and O’Connor were the biggest stars, don’t discount the dudes! Raimi appeared in around ⅓ of the episodes as Joxer, a loyal soldier who is the black sheep of his family and isn’t particularly good at his job. Although he is in love with Gabriella, she doesn’t return it, so he just settles for being friendzoned. However, he does eventually marry Meg, a character who looks like Xena. Since the show ended, Raimi has appeared in Ash Vs The Evil Dead and a few movies directed by his notable brother Sam.
