Renee O'Connor

For a certain generation, Renee O'Connor will always be Gabrielle, and that's no small thing. Her role on Xena: Warrior Princess gave the show its emotional spine, balancing warmth and steel in a way that made the character beloved worldwide. What interests me more, though, is that she didn't stop at acting; she moved into directing and producing, signaling a real builder's instinct. Trained at a performing arts high school in Houston, she earned her craft the hard way. I respect performers who keep expanding their roles behind the camera, and O'Connor strikes me as exactly that kind of restless talent.
