About Lucy Lawless

Lucy Lawless, a New Zealander, rose to international fame through her groundbreaking performance as the title character in Xena: Warrior Princess, the cult hit series executive produced by Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi.

In 2010 Lucy starred in the STARZ series Spartacus, also produced by Xena executive producers Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi. Lawless鈥 portrayal of the complex and often wicked Lucretia delighted critics and fans alike. The show broke all records for STARZ and turned the network into a top destination for original programming.

In addition to these roles, Lucy has continued to demonstrate her versatility with a wide range of television work, both comedy and drama, in such notable projects as Flight of the Conchords, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The L Word, CSI: Miami, Burn Notice and The X-Files.

In film, she played 'Aspen' in Adam Sandler鈥檚 Bedtime Stories, a dominatrix in EuroTrip, and had cameos in Raimi鈥檚 Spider Man, and Tapert鈥檚 Boogeyman.

Lucy can currently be seen starring as Ron Swanson's love interest 'Diane' in the US hit comedy Parks and Recreation. She was also recently seen in Academy Award winning director Jane Campion鈥檚 critically acclaimed miniseries Top of the Lake.
