Lucy Lawless has revealed how she almost missed out on her iconic role in Xena: Warrior Princess.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph's Stellar magazine in Australia, the Kiwi actress revealed the TV show was initially intended to be a three-episode Hercules spinoff rather than its own series.
She also nearly missed out on the role; British actress Vanessa Angel was initially in the running to play the iconic warrior princess.
"I am still staggered that people remember [Xena] and me all these years later," she said.
Lawless told the magazine she is most recognised for the role in New York, Fiji, the Philippines and Turkey.
