Originally auditioned for the role of Commandant Mele-On Grayza, not
Noranti, on
Farscape (1999) as commonly believed. The producers found that
she was "too likable" to be considered a villain; thus executive
producer
David Kemper created the role of Sikozu Shanu for her in the
fourth-season premiere episode
Crichton Kicks (2002) after being impressed by
her audition for Grayza.
