[edit] Career

Adrienne Wilkinson is best known for her role of Livia/Eve, the sometimes warrior sometimes saint daughter of Xena on the popular TV series Xena: Warrior Princess, which was the most watched show in the world at the time and still airs in dozens of countries. She started on television in an episode of Sweet Valley High in 1996, and moved on to Saved By The Bell: The New Class, Chicken Soup for the Soul and in 2001 she had several guest appearances on MTV's show Undressed. In 2002 she starred as Nikki on the US version of the dramedy series As If. In 2003 she had a guest spot on the series Angel as a cheeky flapper from the 1920s, and as Linda Browning in an episode of NBC's popular soap opera Days of Our Lives. In 2005 she had guest appearances on the eighth season of the WB show Charmed as Julie Bennett (Phoebe Halliwell's "permanent" disguise), the ABC show Eyes and was the love interest of Dr. Ray Barnett on the hit NBC drama ER where the plot of a spectacular building collapse nearly killed her character.

Her film career is just taking off, with appearances in seven films released and screened in 2006 including the lead in Reflections directed by Barry Caldwell and starring Zoe Bell, James Morrison, Louis Lombardi, Jim Beaver and Matt Long, and Lakeshore Drive written and directed by Michael Grais and starring Adrienne and Peter Dobson. She had a small part in the 2001 film Pomegranate, and was the female lead in 2002's Interceptor Force 2.

She is sought after for her voice over work which includes more than 40 characters in several videogames, animated videos and commercials. She also plays the part of Maris Brood, the female Jedi in the upcoming Star Wars video game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Not only is she the voice of the latest Jedi, she is the physical character as well, as the video game used the most technologically advanced motion capture available to capture the actor's likeness and performance down to its tiniest detail.

In October 2007, Adrienne signed on as a producer of the short, indie film "Seconds," which is a film about a woman's struggle with depression and self injury. Originally she was asked to star in the film, but due to other commitments, was unable to do so, which was when she joined the project as a producer because of her interest in the script and the story.

Adrienne is also known for her charity works which includes a focus on literacy programs, animal welfare and children. Her website hosts an annual charity auction each November which helps to support families dealing with medical expenses.
