Although they only coincided on screen in two episodes, the truth is that the rivalry between Antony Starr and Karl Urban already existed in fiction before both starred in the successful series The Boys on Amazon Prime Video.

It happened in the mythical Xena: Warrior Princess, a series that aired between 1995 and 2001 and is currently available on SkyShowtime. Both coincided on screen on a few occasions, but their characters were also at odds, just like in the fiction created by Eric Kripke.

Specifically, Karl Urban played Julius Caesar, a character that appears in up to thirteen episodes; and Antony Starr portrayed David, whom we only see in two episodes of the series.

About 'Xena: Warrior Princess'

Antony Starr and Karl Urban in 'Xena: Warrior Princess'

In an ancient and dangerous world, by whims of the gods and human tyranny, a warrior princess who seeks to atone for her mistakes travels with her bard companion to help the innocent and fight against injustice and the forces of darkness.

Xena: Warrior Princess is an adventure series that blends history and mythology, mainly set in ancient Greece. It tells the adventures of the warrior Xena (Lucy Lawless), who, after several years as a fearsome warlord, manages to redeem herself from her past thanks to the hero Hercules (Kevin Sorbo). From that moment on, Xena will do everything possible to fight for good and peace, battling ruthless warriors, gods, demons, and even death itself.
