WELLINGTON (Reuters) - A New Zealand actor who played the leather-clad,
bicep-bulging God of War, Ares, opposite Xena in the television series "Xena:
Warrior Princess" has died in China after a fall.
Kevin
Smith, 38, died in hospital late Friday from head injuries he suffered in
Beijing, where he had been working on a film production, the NZ government said
in a statement.
Smith played Xena's love interest in the fantasy drama based loosely on
ancient mythology, which ended filming in New Zealand last year after being
broadcast in more than 100 countries.
The NZ government paid tribute to Smith, saying he was "known not only for
his enormous talent and amazing beauty, but also for his intelligence and
self-effacing humor." The New Zealand Herald reported Smith's next role wasto
have been in a Bruce
Willis movie, "Man of War," to begin filming in Hawaii next month.
