Joxer is the most famous role
Joxer is a character in the series Xena the Warrior Queen and The Amazing Journey of Hercules, played by Ted Raimi.
Joxer considers himself the most powerful warrior and is very proud of it. Dreams that legends go about his fearlessness and power. Of course, all Joxer's dreams of heroic deeds and popularity remain dreams. Because of his stupidity and slowness, something happens to him all the time. He rarely manages to defeat at least one opponent. Despite this, Joxer in some cases shows real courage. Especially when the problem concerns people close to him. Once he happened to make a real heroic act: he, together with Xena and Gabriel, saved one village from the raids of a gang of villains, and then asked that the village be named in his honor.
Sometimes Joxer realizes which of him is a fighter and begins to feel sad. However, as a rule, this condition does not last long.
Gabriel and Xena cherish a lot, consider them their best (and only) friends. Constantly ready to help them out of trouble, despite the fact that he himself often asks for their help. He has an excellent relationship with Heracles and Iolaus, as well as with the "king of the robbers" Autolycus.
Stupid, good-natured and gullible, often because of this gets into trouble. He regularly invents various nicknames for himself in order to emphasize his own courage and strength (for example, “Joxer the Mighty”, or “the greatest” or “excellent”), in addition, composed a couple of songs in which he praises his own “generous” qualities. She loves to brag about “exploits” (most of which are either implemented by someone else or simply invented). Likes to cook and fish.
Interesting events often happen with Joxer. For example, once Venus cast a spell on Joxer, turning him into a warrior, which no man could defeat. Another time, because of Aphrodite, Joxer became a monkey man. He called himself "King of the Jungle", Gabriel - "Princess Gaia", talked with animals, ate bugs and caterpillars and flew through the forest on vines.
