Biography

Jane Allsop was born in Oxford, England and soon after moved to the US for several years. Upon returning to Melbourne the family settled in the eastern suburbs and Jane began drama classes at the age of nine. At age 13 Jane went to her first audition and got it - a Wedgewood Pie commercial. Ironically this was the same commercial that began Stephen Curry's career, and nearly two decades later they worked alongside one another in "The King". After secondary school Jane completed a Visual and Performing Arts Degree at the Victorian College of the Arts. She worked consistently over the years, gaining guest roles in many television programs including "Neighbours", State Coroner, "Kangaroo Palace" TV movie, "Halifax f.p III: Afraid of the Dark", "Lano and Woodley" and "Blue Heelers". But her big break came in 1999 when she landed the role of Constable Jo Parrish in the Seven Network's hit drama "Blue Heelers". She played the role of Jo Parrish for 5 years, completing exactly 200 episodes. The roles that followed included among other things a regular role on "Last Man Standing", a 4 part series of "MDA" starring alongside Vince Colosimo, and the role of Noeline Brown in "The King". In the latter half of 2010, she can be simultaneously seen in "Matching Jack" in cinemas, in "Tangle" on Foxtel Showcase, on Channel 10 in her role as Tash on "Rush", and on the Nine Network playing Carmel Arthur in the first "Underbelly Files: Tell Them Lucifer Was Here" telemovie.
