Four Different Characters
Can you believe that Karl Urban played four different characters on the show Xena: Warrior Princess? He played 2 major roles as the god Cupid and Julius Caesar and 2 minor roles as Kor and Mael. Portraying so many different characters definitely improved Urban’s skills, helping him land more and more acting jobs.
Planet Xena
Xena actually had a planet named after her, the official name Eris. The Palomar Observatory-based team led by Mike Brown founded the second largest dwarf planet in January 2005. Experts still had to decide if it would be classified as a planet or a minor planet, and it was named Xena while awaiting the results. Unfortunately, in the end Xena was a dwarf planet and given the name Eris from Greek mythology. Still, it’s the thought that counts!
