Caroline Craig
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Caroline Craig (b. June 1, 1976 in Abbotsford, Victoria, Australia) is a Australian TV and film actress.
She was educated at Geelong Grammar School and then later to Melbourne Girls' Grammar School. Her parents, noticing her interest in the arts, enrolled her at St. Martin's Youth Arts Centre at the age of 10. Graduating with her VCE in 1992 she had to decide whether to enrol for law or acting. Not surprisingly her parents encouraged her to enrol in the law degree. Wanting to keep her options open she applied for law at Tasmania and for an Arts degree at Melbourne University. However, during her two-day orientation for law students, Caroline realised that law was not for her and so she left. After a brief spell living in London, Caroline returned to Australia and took up her place on the Arts degree.
She got involved with the drama department and formed an all-girl band called "Vinyl Discharge", which played gigs around Melbourne. However, having been bitten by the acting bug, and inspired by her idols, Cate Blanchett, Jacqueline McKenzie and Toni Collette, she abandoned her musical career and was accepted into the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney. Whilst studying acting, Caroline appeared in the Silverchair music video "Miss You Love" from the album Neon Ballroom. After graduating from NIDA in 1999, Caroline got herself an agent and shortly after an audition for Blue Heelers. After two further auditions, she secured the role of "Sergeant Teresa 'Tess' Gallagher" and began filming in February 2000 and her first episode, 'On The Road' was screened in May. She left the series in 2003.
