A familiar face on Australian television, Janet's career in the entertainment industry has not been limited to the small screen. Winner of two Green Room Awards (Best Actress in a Leading Role and Best Actress in a Support Role), Janet's resume also lists many theatre and film credits including: Rising Fish Prayer, Hotel Sorrento, Navigating, Jerusalem, Good Works, Underwear, Perfume and Crash Helmet, A Happy and Holy Occasion, Sex Diary of an Infidel, Love Letters, Framework, Lysistrata, Ticka Tocka Linga and Once a Catholic. Janet's membership of the prestigious Melbourne Theatre Company Ensemble has also enabled her involvement in productions such as Othello, Tom & Viv, The Threepenny Opera, Pax Americana, The Curse of the Werewolf and Never In My Lifetime, to name but a few. Probably best recognised as the aloof inmate Reb Keane on the hugely popular Prisoner series, Janet has numerous television credits, including Words Fail Me, Home, Carson's Law, This Man This Woman, Embassy, A Country Practice, Blue Heelers, Janus, State Coroner and the international mini-series Moby Dick.
