Pics Alexandra Tydings "In my first episode there was a beauty contest between me and my two sisters, Athena and Artemis," she says. "I got off this 13-hour flight from hell and I got into wardrobe and I saw these pictures of the girls who were playing my sisters, these models from New Zealand, and I was like, 'Oh, man, they totally miscast this thing!'" Helped along by Kevin Sorbo, who directed the first episode, she has since become comfortable with the role. "Aphrodite's full of spitfire, and I love that," says Tydings, a Washington, D.C., native who studied Irish folk dancing as a child and later entered the film program at Brown University. ENTER HERE
