Career
In Australia and in New Zealand Claudia Black became famous by acting in several TV productions. She played a main character in "City Life" (1996) and a supporting character in "A Country Practice".
"City Life" was produced in New Zealand and often called the suspenseful "Melrose Place" from down under. It was cancelled after the first season because of moderate ratings. But especially in Europe "City Life" was successful and received awards for Best Drama Series and Best Actor of the New Zealand Film & Television Academy for Oliver Driver (Josh) in 1997. Claudia Black portrayed Angela Kostapas, a talented Greek lawyer.
In "A Country Practice" Claudia Black played a nurse called Claire Bonacci from 1055 episode to 1058 and in the following ones from 1993 to 1994, after the producer of the Show was changed to another person.
In 2001 Claudia voiced one of the NGC documentaries, "National Geographic's Mission: Earth.
Claudia Black doesn't have only acting qualities, she could get a guitar and she could get on the scenery with a lot of people looking at her and she could start to sing. She likes classic and jazz songs. I'm afraid that we can only listen to her at live events in conventions like Burbank (the great international Farscape convention in LA). As you could see in that picture, she sang in 2003 Burbank Convention when the cast of Farscape, Claudia, Ben, Gigi and all of them arrived at Hilton Hotel and before they answered a lot of questions of their fans. So Claudia was taking the stage over with one of her songs.
Claudia voiced Samantha Byrne in the video game Gears Of War 3 in exclusive for XBox 360, and she also voiced again her character in the Uncharted franchise Chloe Frazer in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception for PlayStation 3.
