Sara Wiseman first got the acting bug while volunteering on the set of Peter Jackson’s feature film Heavenly Creatures. She began her career as a stuntwoman alongside Zoe Bell, but gained her first big acting break in the drama series Street Legal. Her best known New Zealand role is Dr Nicky Sommerville on Mercy Peak. Some of Wiseman’s other screen credits include Mataku, Sione’s Wedding, Outrageous Fortune and Jinx Sister.
In this ScreenTalk, Wiseman talks about:
[The scene of] confronting the father's grave, drunk and lashing out at him . . . I remember whacking the big headstone so hard, the next day I couldn't walk . . . I guess it's those opportunities to do scenes that, well for me anyway, take you to extreme places. They can be quite freeing.– Sara Wiseman on acting in an intense scene in movie Jinx Sister
