Melissa George

Melissa George is one of those actresses who quietly built an impressive international career that never quite got the mainstream recognition it deserved. She went from playing Angel Parrish on Home and Away — which in Australia is basically as big as it gets for a teenager — to making a genuine go of Hollywood, landing roles in Dark City, Alias as a recurring thorn in Jennifer Garner's side, and eventually The Good Wife and In Treatment, where she held her own opposite Gabriel Byrne in genuinely demanding dramatic work. She's always had this naturalistic intensity that makes you trust her on screen, whether she's doing genre fare or prestige drama. Born in Perth and forged in the Australian soap machine, she crossed over in a way most people from that world never managed, and I think that story alone makes her worth paying attention to.
