Career

From 1993 until 1994, Hill starred in Paradise Beach as Loretta Taylor. [4] She appeared in the guest role of Jill Lambert in an episode of Blue Heelers in July 1994. She had to have her red hair sprayed black due to her close resemblance to lead actress Julie Nihill. [4] Two days after finishing up on Blue Heelers, Hill joined the cast of Neighbours as "free-spirited" Serendipity Gottlieb, sister of Mark Gottlieb (played by Bruce Samazan). She made her first appearance on 25 August 1994. [5]

Hill made her film debut in the 1996 romantic comedy Hotel de Love , and her theatre credits include the role of Wendy in Pan for The Jim Henson Company, as well as Tasting Sugar Lake for Budinskis Theatre. She played a role in the 2005 Indonesian film about the 2002 Bali bombing, Long Road to Heaven .

She is known internationally for her part as Sikozu in the sci-fi television series Farscape . [2] [6] She originally auditioned for the part of Mele-On Grayza, but the part ultimately went to Rebecca Riggs. [7] The role of Sikozu was created especially for her by executive producer David Kemper at the time, because she had impressed them so much. [8]
