In 1997, Claudia got a co-starring role for the show Amazon High as the Amazon Karina. However, the only episode ever made of this series was the pilot. When the show did not get picked up, the pilot episode was chopped up and parts were included into the Xena: Warrior Princess episode "Lifeblood".
(edit)
She did the voice of Aeryn Sun in the 2002 video game entitled Farscape: The Game.
(edit)
Popular at sci-fi conventions, Black showed her talent at singing and playing the guitar at the Farscape conventions.
(edit)
Claudia Black: I am constantly amazed how many illegal things actors get paid to do. Kiss other people's spouses, sometimes even get naked with them, drive cars at fast speeds in chase sequences, blow stuff up with explosives, muck about with firearms. The illegal action stuff is always fun, the kissy stuff is a little bit embarrassing and you always have to pray that the person has brushed their teeth.
(edit)
Claudia Black: Farscape is the one thing that's between me and waitressing at this point. I never lose my sense of humility in the fact that I might be straight back to waitressing after this. And each time your profile is raised, the harder it is to step back into the apron and say, 'Do you want fries with that?'
(edit)
Claudia Black: I cannot tell you how proud I am to join the esteemed ranks of the Space Babes.
(edit)
Claudia Black: I did everything the hard way with therefore fewer guarantees of getting anywhere. If you wanna fast track it, suck up to people and be nice, don't be honest, take off your clothes on screen and off at any opportunity, be prepared to have plastic surgery on every part of you and network like hell.
(edit)
Claudia Black: The crew are the faces you see every morning and last at night before you go home. I spend more time with those people than I do with my friends and family, so they're forever a part of you and who you become as an actor so I hope I see them again.
