06 What are ROC's appearances in "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" related programs/films?
"Hercules and the Lost Kingdom".
ROC, played the female lead, Deianeira, though Hercules gets
obviously more screentime. The setting and style are the
same as the "Xena: Warrior Princess" and "Hercules: The
Legendary Journeys" series, though this is a tv film that
was made before either series started.
Hercules meets Deianeira after he saves her from being
sacrificed to a rain god. She believes that it's her destiny
to be sacrificed. But when Hercules explains that sacrifices
don't work (after all he should know) she thinks maybe, he
has something to do with her destiny.
Maybe she's a god... They meet up with Robert Trebor as a
slave and together they go to look for the lost city of
Troy, and Deianeira's real destiny.
The Animated Movie: The Battle for Mount Olympus
Gabrielle is voiced by ROC, but Gabrielle is here in only a
very small role. And is actually a transformed into a bird
(a Roc no less <g>), for over half her screen time.
H:TLJ episode: "Judgement Day".
Renee appears as Xena's companion Gabrielle, (who else? <g>)
when they find out that Hercules married the Golden Hind.
Upon the Hinds death at the hands of Strife, Gabrielle and
Xena work out a plan to prove Hercules innocence.
H:TLJ episode: "Strangers In A Strange Land".
Playing the Executioner, this is a sort of 'blink and you
miss her' role for Renee, whose only real appearance is as a
gag near the end.
H:TLJ episode: "Armageddon Now, Part 2".
In the alternate universe, Xena is a conquering warlord, and
Gabrielle is a rebel. A short but strong performance from
Renee here.
H:TLJ episode: "For Those Of You Just Joining Us".
What can I say? Renee as a camp councillor, called 'Sunny
Day', and wearing a Girl Scout uniform no less. A quite
funny and enjoyable romp, and Renee actually gets a fair
amount of screen time. Watch the surprise 'Scooby-Doo'
ending.
