Lucy Lawless cemented her place as one of TV’s most iconic action stars with her six-season run as the star of “Xena: Warrior Princess,” but the actress says she’s glad to leave that part of her career in the past.
“Oh yes, I always hated action,” Lawless said during a Television Critics Association panel to promote her Acorn TV series “My Life Is Murder.” The actress said she “couldn’t believe” that action and fantasy became such a defining part of her early career: “I don’t do fantasy, I don’t watch fantasy, I’m not interested in any of this stuff, [but] I found myself in this crazy genre.”
