Gigi Edgley came onto Farscape in the first season, in a role that could very easily have been for one episode only. Fortunately for her, the producers decided differently, and the bullet that was originally to have killed Chiana merely grazed her.

Farscape is Gigi Edgley�s first big role � not surprising considering she�d only just come out of drama college when she got it. A first casting on Australian miniseries Day of the Roses led to an audition, and five-hour makeup test, for Farscape.

She has strong opinions on how her character should develop, and for season four has requested of Farscape�s producers that Chiana return to the mannerisms and style of the first season.

Outside the show, she has had guest appearances on TV shows such as BeastMaster and The Lost World. She is great friends with Claudia Black.
