Claudia Christian

In 2019, Christian was announced to be starring in Netflix's upcoming animated mythology series Gods and Heroes in which she would voice the goddess Hera.

In 2016, she appeared as Captain Maureen Ferran in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.

Christian conceived her own convention, Claudia Con UK, which took place in the United Kingdom on August 13–14, 2011.

She voices Anne Manx in the full cast recordings for the Radio Repertory Company of America. In 2010, Christian appeared in the Showtime series Look: The Series.

Christian has been publicizing The Sinclair Method, a treatment for alcohol dependency, through her book Babylon Confidential. In this book she recalls her own experiences with the condition, and credits The Sinclair Method for saving her life in 2009.

She posed nude for Playboy magazine in October 1999, appeared in two episodes of Freaks and Geeks in 2000, and appeared in the She Spies 2002 episode "Spy vs Spy". In 2004, she returned to the live stage (and to Laguna Beach, California, where she had attended high school), starring in the United States premiere of Michael Weller's play What the Night is For, with Kip Gilman, directed by Richard Stein, at the Laguna Playhouse. She starred in the BBC comedy series Broken News in 2005. She also plays Janine Foster, mother of Peri Brown, in the Doctor Who audio drama The Reaping, produced by Big Finish Productions released in the United Kingdom in September 2006.

In 1994–1998, she appeared as Commander Susan Ivanova, one of the series leads, in the first four seasons of Babylon 5. She left unexpectedly when contract negotiations for the fifth and final season – aggravated by the possibility that there would not be one – broke down. J. Michael Straczynski, the series' creator, maintains that she chose to leave on her own. However, Christian stated that she did wish to return for the fifth season, but was rebuffed and let go when she requested a small reduction in the number of episodes she would appear in so that she could complete another project. She appeared in the series finale, which had been filmed during the fourth season, when it seemed likely that the series would end prematurely, and subsequently reprised her role in Babylon 5: In the Beginning and Babylon 5: Thirdspace.

Christian's first role on television was a guest appearance on Dallas, followed by a series regular role as Melody Hughes on the short-lived drama Berrenger's. She performed feature-film roles such as a stripper possessed by an alien serial killer in The Hidden (1987), police department psychologist Susan Riley in Maniac Cop 2 and model Hexina in Hexed (1993).
