Toris embraces the grandchildren he thought were lost, in Battle of Amphipolis, a #Xena Virtual Season ep I illustrated 21 years ago. Here, Toris is about the same age as “Old Joxer”, & the actor has been aged to match the description in the script. Of course, the actor, Joseph Kell, is now that very age, & looks in great shape! Same with Ted Raimi, who looks nothing like Old Joxer, despite being the same age.
Older #Xena fans may identify with both Xena & Toris in this story: this time, it’s Xena who resents Toris for not looking in on mom often enough instead of the other way around in season 2’s Death Mask.
