Question:
How do you feel being such a massive draw to the show? I mean most classical sidekicks have never had such a large following.

ReneeOCnr:
I appreciate all the loyalty that the fans have shown to Gabrielle. We are lucky that Lucy and I have such great chemistry.
Question:
Your character has gone through soooo many outfits in just two seasons. Do you have a favorite one?

ReneeOCnr:
I like them all actually. However, the normal Gabrielle costume keeps getting smaller.
Question:
Each minute of XWP is so packed with either action or dialog that it would seem a ton of preparation is necessary. Do you have to do much "homework" for the episodes as far as memorization or rehearsing the choreography?

ReneeOCnr:
I always read an episode script at least three times. This is before we start filming it. Then, the night before we are required to shoot a scene I make sure I am word perfect.
Question:
how did you get the part of gabrielle?

ReneeOCnr:
I had worked for Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi twice before. When the character of Gabrielle was being thought about, they considered me for the role. Thank the Gods they did!
Question:
are you and lucy as good friends off cammera as you are on?

ReneeOCnr:
Yes we are. I can tell Lucy anything. Probably more information than she needs or wants to know.
Question:
Now that the show has hit it big, do you miss the anonymity you once had?

ReneeOCnr:
Actually, most people don't recognize me out of costume. I must seem much taller. Ha, ha, ha.
Question:
do you enjoy reading novels that deal with fantasy and sci-fi?

ReneeOCnr:
I mostly enjoy reading literature. Such as classics from Shakespeare, different American and Irish playrights. I also like to read novelists from other countries. Right now I am reading a novel called Leaning Towards Infinity which was written in Australia.
Question:I was wondering what your fav episode is.

ReneeOCnr:
My favorite episode that has aired would be A day In The Life. In this episode Lucy and I were allowed more screen time to play off of one another. Everyone had a great time on the set as well, watching and laughing.
Question:
What was your most embarrasing moment on Xena: Warrior Princess?

ReneeOCnr:
My most embarassing moment to date would be the skinny dipping scene in Altered States. It was a bit of a laugh.
