That meant some pretty intense physical preparation for Law, an exotic beauty who grew up in South Jersey with a love of action. “Watching all the boys have fun and get to play, while I stood there until I got to pour them water or wine, I was jealous,” Law confides about season one. “So this year, to be able to run around and hit the ground and get bloody along with everyone else, it was a lot more fun.” Not to mention a lot of work. Law trained for two-and-half months with noted trainer and fitness model Anca Marcus before reporting for gladiator training – a two-week marathon that involved, among other things, rolling 300-pound tractor tires, something called the Circle of Death, heavy duty circuit work, weapons training and fight choreography. "I was in relatively good shape and I then get down there and we did two weeks of Gladiator Boot Camp and let me tell you, it took about six days before I could walk normally again after that," says Law.
The intense regime also gave Law the body confidence needed for the copious amount of nudity that is such an integral part of the show. Spartacus, as she explains, is not a show for the faint of heart. "It’s so sexually charged and violent— you have to know where to look," said Law. "We were shooting one scene where these eight fired-up gladiators all dropped their drawers. You had to look at the floor, the ceiling — or the eight penises." Beyond the penises, she’s had an honour few actors have: she’s shot a full-frontal bath scene with Lucy Lawless. When quizzed about it, she laughs for ten seconds straight. "Does that reaction tell you how I felt about the scene?" she chuckles. "That time, I was more scared of the camera. But Lucy made sure I was taken care of, and she was topless, too. [Any time I felt weird], I just remembered, ‘Hey, I’m looking at Xena’s boobs!’" Not one of the most discomforting thoughts.
Warming to the subject of doing naked scenes, Law shared that the people behind the show take the scenes very thoroughly. "They light you well, they pose you well, they do all this stuff with makeup and lighting and editing," she explained. "They really protect the actors on this show. If there is a bad angle, I know I really did something to piss someone off." Protected or not, the actress says she still finds it weird to watch playback. "I have this weird, oblong alien face! I have to get over myself to even look at my work." Fortunately, that isn’t a problem for us. And, thanks to her exotic beauty—something she attributes to her mixed Taiwanese, Italian and German heritage — we suspect it isn’t a problem for most men, either.
Surprisingly, that’s not the case. "Actually, men never approach me!" she protests, before recalling how she had to take the lead with her new co-star and onscreen lover in their intimate scenes. "I felt like the old pro, 'Just take your clothes off, hon, it's going to be fine,'" she told Liam McIntyre. "It's all in a day's work," laughed Law.
