Bruce Allpress on "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" - 3 (1995)

The thirteenth episode of "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" found the title hero teaming up with Xena for the very first time. The formerly evil warrior princess fights at Hercules side to stop her former mercenary partner, Darphus, who is brought back from the dead by the God, Ares, after he was killed by Xena. Jungle Fury recurring star, Bruce Allpress (Master Phant, Jungle Fury) plays a small role in the episode titled, "Unchained Heart." He appears in two scenes of the episode as a partially blind man named Enos, who picks up Hercules' friend, Salmoneus, who is hitchhiking. Enos tries to convince Salmoneus that they are headed towards the shore when they are actually headed straight for the village where Darphus has set up camp, lying in wait for Hercules & Xena. Enos & Salmoneus are confronted by Darphus' mercenaries. Enos' fate is left unknown.

The third episode of "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" ironically featured a trio of future Power Rangers guest stars. The episode titled "The Road to Calydon," finds Hercules coming to the aide of a village of travelers who settle in a city cursed by his evil stepmother, Hera. Hercules pressures them to leave the land when dangerous disasters begin occurring around them. RPM guest star John Sumner (Fresno Bob, RPM) appears in the episode as Broteas, the leader of the villagers, who is not a fan of Hercules. He refuses Hercules' help at every turn, but when the other villagers agree to leave, Broteas agrees to leave with them. No one realizes, however, that he's stolen a cup that belonged to Hera, which causes the disasters to follow them, along with an army of monstrous beasts. Jungle Fury's Bruce Allpress (Master Phant, Jungle Fury) appears in one scene of the episode, playing an old man who encounters the beasts on his travels. When he discovers they are after the villagers, he tells them the direction they traveled, as he fears for his life. Ninja Storm voice actor, Peter Rowley (voice of Zurgane, Ninja Storm) also appears throughout the episode in the role of Ephadon, one of the villagers who is the first to side with Hercules and take his advice. When it's discovered that Broteas stole Hera's cup, Ephadon leads the charge to have him punished.

Nathaniel Lees, Stig Eldred, Michael Hurst & David Weatherley on "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" (1995)

The eighth episode of "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" featured a handful of future PR actors. The episode titled "The March to Freedom" finds Hercules coming to the rescue of a girl named Oi-Lan, who is sold into slavery. She is played by a young Lucy Liu. But her freedom isn't enough. She is determined to find and release her fiancé, Cyrus, played by Nathaniel Lees (Master Mao, Jungle Fury). His skills as an acrobat come in handy as they fight off the slave traders, led by Lees' Jungle Fury co-star, Stig Eldred (Master Rilla, Jungle Fury). Eldred portrays Belus, a man who cares nothing about freedom and is more determined to make as much money as he can. He even goes so far as to cheat those who purchase his slaves, so he can keep them and re-sell them to others. One of the cheated slave buyers is played by David Weatherley (Spencer, Overdrive), who appears in a few brief scenes, opposite Eldred. Also appearing in this episode is "Hercules" veteran, Michael Hurst (voice of Vexacus, Ninja Storm). Hurst was just a guest star in this episode as Hercules' best friend Iolaus. The two discover the slave trade and while Iolaus isn't very interested in putting a stop to it, he is by Hercules' side when they purchase and free Oi-Lan, but he does not go with them on their adventure to rescue Cyrus.
