Not much is publicly known about Antony Starr's childhood, but it seems safe to assume that he had a normal time growing up in New Zealand. Starr's first real acting role was in the beloved series "Xena: Warrior Princess," and the production took place largely in his native New Zealand (via GQ). However, Starr said of the role to Entertainment Weekly, "I'd never acted before. Lucy Lawless tried to be encouraging about his skills, but Starr told GQ, "You could see it in the episode; it was really bad." After his credits in "Xena: Warrior Princess" in 1995 and 1996, Antony Starr didn't have another IMDb credit until 2000 with the series "Street Legal."
