The actress has now signed on for a multi-episode gig on the upcoming season of ``The X-Files (news - Y! TV).'' She is set to appear on the show's first two episodes. There's a chance she could do more episodes, though nothing's been decided yet. The show's season premiere is Nov. 4. Details regarding the Lawless character are being kept under wraps. ``We're thrilled to have an opportunity to work with Lucy, whose work we've admired for a long time,'' said ``X-Files'' executive producer Frank Spotnitz. ``We think we've found an interesting and unexpected way to have her join the family.'' Reuters/Variety REUTERS Venator ------------------ From the Chakram mailing list: Subject: [chakram] Detroit News article Cool, the article by Tom Long (who I talked to about this story as well as Xena) about female action heroes appeared finally in The Detroit News today! :) Here it is: http://detnews.com/2001/entertainment/0107/30/c01-257205.htm There are a few quotes from me, although again I think I sound like a dork :) and he only used a handful of what I actually said. But, the article is fairly lengthy, yay. It's even got a sidebar chronicling various action stars over time, Xena included. Of course, there's also the requisite quote from someone saying that this is a bad trend because it means women are trying to be violent like men, blah blah. (Hmm, I don't like that line that says I "agree" with the guy quoted b4 me, cuz I don't.) -Sarah, aka the abbagirl- ------------------ Guess it won't be so "slow" after all.....;) --Jackie ****************************************************** * Proud to have the same birthday as Lucy Lawless! * * * * "I think New Zealand geographically comes from * * ...
