LANDING the role of Home And Away “wild child” put actors like Isla Fisher and Melissa George on the path to Hollywood.
And now it’s Sophie Dillman’s chance.
The 24-year-old told The Daily Telegraph her path into the soapie was out of the ordinary. She got into acting because she was struggling to find permanent work as a nurse.
“I always wanted to be an actor but I was encouraged by my family to do something I could fall back on, so I studied nursing,” she said.
“But it just so happened that at the time the Australian government had pulled a lot of funding out of the health system and no graduate nurses were getting jobs so I decided to audition for an acting school and I got in.”
Dillman plays rebel teenager Ziggy Astoni.
She along with the rest of the Astoni family (played by Rohan Nicol, Kestie Morassi and Anna Cocquerel) will make their onscreen debut within weeks.
