Elizabeth Parisi
- Actress
- Art Department
Elizabeth is an accomplished actress, voice artist, presenter (on-screen and radio) and screenwriter, with a wealth of experience across all mediums.
Her love of storytelling was born onstage as a ballet dancer and blossomed into a passion for acting. As a teen, she cut her teeth on TVCs and buried herself in Shakespeare and Chekhov. This was followed by recurring television roles on NEIGHBOURS and BLUE HEELERS , plus a plethora of indie films (including award-winning short, THE FORTUNE TELLER), presenting gigs and voiceover campaigns. She also danced her way around Hong Kong as Mickey Mouse at one point.
After travelling the world and circumnavigating Australia via the sea, Elizabeth re-emerged in Ramsay Street as bossy Lana Kline, played Mrs Harrison in Xue Xiaolu's blockbuster feature, THE WHISTLEBLOWER, and starred as PR Queen, Foxy Waits, in mockumentary feature, I WANNA BE FAMOUS. Currently, she performs in virtual Shakespeare productions with the International Actors Ensemble, she is a popular guest on Melbourne's number one radio station, 3AW 693, and continues to appear as Lana in Erinsborough.
Elizabeth studied drama at Trinity College London, the National Theatre Ballet School and later at the National Theatre Drama School, before being awarded the VicHealth Scholarship at St Martins. While living in London, she spent a year at The Method Studio (full time) and was a student at The Actors Centre. Furthermore, she is a professionally trained ballerina (RAD) and Journalism Master's graduate.
Elizabeth's writing resume includes Lonely Planet, The Australian Ballet and Channel Nine's THE BLOCK. A self-confessed cinephile and wordsmith-slash-grammar-vigilante, she more recently merged her skill sets to pen screenplays in the thriller and comedy genres. Additionally, Elizabeth has a penchant for photography inspired by travel writing, and is a published children's author.
