Gigi is best known in Australia for her work on the seminal television series, The Secret Life Of Us. She has appeared in many local television shows including Black Jack and Stingers, but has acquired an international fan base thanks to her starring role on the Jim Henson sci-fi epic Farscape.
The character was initially written as a one-episode appearance, however, the producers were so taken by the performance of this girl from Australia, writers were told to change the script. ‘Chiana’ lived on to become a lead on the show over the next five years.
After shooting her fifth season in the Channel 10 Tele-movie Black Jack, Gigi is following the footsteps of other successful Australian actresses over to the states where she has just completed filming one of the leads in her first US feature ‘Alien V’s Alien’.
Gigi has worked extensively in the theatre. Most recently she starred in the first production outside of London of the play, ‘4:48 Psychosis’ directed by Samantha Lang, who also worked with Gigi on the feature film The Monkey’s Mask.
Before graduation from QUT, Gigi was offered the role of Erica Watson on Day of the Roses, a tele-movie based on the true story of the horrific Granville train disaster. A heroic looking Jeremy Sims facilitated Gigi’s rescue. They have agreed to stop meeting on trains.
