    One hell of an actress! hide show

    This beautiful, smart, and sexy irish-american actress got her foot in acting by doing a part as a sacrifice for a water god in a Hercules movie. She was later given a part in the show, Xena: Warrior Princess, as a warrior-bard named Gabrielle, who went from peaceful bard to Amazon to peacenix to protoge of one of the greatest fictatious warriors of alll time through out television history. In my opinion, Renee O' Connor is one of the most charasmatic (and some times underrated) actresses of our time and I think that after the end of Xena, she deserves her own show! She deserves an Oscar! She's Freakin' awesome, man!
