Xena to double her cult kudos with stint on spooky 'X-Files'
01.08.2001 By LOUISA CLEAVE television editor
Lucy Lawless will guest-star in another cult television show, The X-Files.
The New Zealand actor, who achieved cult heroine status in the
locally produced Xena: Warrior Princess, will appear in the
long-running science-fiction series on US screens in November. She
will not be seen on local television until next year.
Filming starts in Los Angeles within two weeks. Lawless has few
details about the character and was surprised yesterday that her part
had been announced by the show's producers in trade magazine Variety.
"They keep details very close to the chest. What [show creator] Chris
Carter told me [about the role] is that it's very X-Files: you think
it's one thing and it turns out to be another," Lawless told the
Herald yesterday.
She will appear in the first two episodes - and possibly four - of
the show's new season.
The mother of two said she was a fan of The X-Files but was not keen
to take on another long commitment like Xena, which lasted five years.
"It's not my dream to work 18-hour days and that is what they do in
the States."
Lawless said she had turned down every role since finishing Xena this
year. Then she was approached by Carter while holidaying in Hawaii.
"You do not say 'no' to Chris Carter. He has a tremendous reputation."
Lawless said she was looking forward to working with Gillian
Anderson, who has played agent Dana Scully for eight years.
