Just who is Joxer?
Joxer is a character on the television show Xena: Warrior Princess. He is played by Ted Raimi. In the past, he was generally used as the comic relief, using Three Stooges-type humour to both lighten dark situations, and to spice up the comedy episodes. This season, Joxer has been seen more than ever.
First portrayed as a teenage persona who wanted to be something he wasn't, Joxer has now begun to mature. The writers and producers have been putting him in situations where he can show off his wit and ever-growing maturity. This is quite the boone for us.
When he was first introduced onto the show, Joxer was a wannabe warrior, out to prove himself to Callisto (major nemesis of Xena) by killing Gabrielle (Xena's sidekick). He couldn't bring himself to kill her when given the opportunity, so he was put in the same situation as she. After that he began to hang around with Xena and Gabrielle more and more. (We like it when it's more!) ;o)
We don't know all that much about Joxer's past, but we do know a few things. His father is a warlord. The last time his father was mentioned, it was said that he was in jail. Joxer is a triplet. His two brothers are Jett, an assassin, and Jace, a...performance artist. ;o) Joxer's exact age is not known. He is portrayed as much younger than he looks.
That's a basic overview of just who Joxer is. If you'd like to know more, you can ask any of us who are listed below:
