Edgley was born in Perth. She is the daughter of concert and circus promoter Michael Edgley, known for bringing the Moscow State Circus to Australia during the 1980s. Her mother, Jeni Edgley, is involved in managing a 250-acre health retreat. As a child, Gigi Edgley performed both in and out of school. She also took several years of ballet, jazz, and character dance. She became mainly interested in acting and had her first professional theatrical engagement at the Twelfth Night Theater. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Queensland University of Technology in 1998. In 1999 she began acting steadily in Australia on T.V. As a believer in the school of method acting, Gigi has developed a broad set of skills and experiences for her roles. She is proficient in ballet, jazz, character dance, singing, and martial arts. Her early TV and film work included several independent productions (with later Farscape (1999) co-star Anthony Simcoe), as well a guest star spot on the popular Australian series Sydneyn satamapoliisit (1996) and a role in Australian TV Mini-Series titled The Day of the Roses (1998).

She is undoubtedly best known for her role as Chiana on the science fiction TV series Farscape (1999). She originally was hired for only one episode, and her character was supposed to die at the end of the hour. The creators however decided to keep her around for a few more episodes. At the beginning of Season 2, she was promoted to be a regular on the show. She appeared in total of 68 episodes of the series. Her character's nickname (Pip) was actually coined by her co-star Ben Browder.

Between seasons, she has appeared in other guest starring roles on TV, including the popular internationally aired series The Lost World (1999) and BeastMaster (1999). After the cancellation of Farscape she pursued other projects including a role in the Australian TV drama BlackJack - Vainottu (2003). She has also appeared in many popular Australian TV shows such as Elämä tilauksessa (2001) and Stingers (1998).

In 2004 She reprised Her role as Chiana in the SciFi Channel miniseries Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars (2004).

In 2006 She starred as the female lead in critically acclaimed Australian Drama/Thriller Last Train to Freo (2006). Her role was nominated for a Best Actress in a Lead Role by the Film Critics Circle of Australia. She also had a minor supporting role in the 2007 USA Network TV miniseries The Starter Wife (2007). Also in 2007 and 2008 she garnered two feature length movie roles. In 07 it was the Sci-Fi movie, Showdown at Area 51 (2007), and in 08 she was back at work down under in the movie Newcastle (2008). In 2009 She began work on the Aussie T.V. series Rescue Special Ops (2009) as Lara Knight.

  • Trivia
    Chiana, her character on Farscape (1999), is nicknamed "Pip" by John Crichton (Ben Browder). That name came from Browder's real-life nickname for her.
  • Quotes
    [on how she became part of the cast of Farscape, when her role as Chiana was originally meant for one episode] It was only supposed to be for one episode. The shot that grazed Chiana's arm was meant to knock me off. I don't know what I did but obviously the gods were smiling on me because, five years later, I was still dressed up in three hours of makeup every day and doing these crazy alien movements and living on a spaceship. I was 23 at the time and it was my first long-term job and by far the highlight of my career. I've done lots of shows after that and films, television, theater, but there's something really cool about playing an alien. There's no definition; you can just create something from the Uncharted Territories and people buy it! It's awesome. And because I've grown up with the characters of The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, and I looked at the Henson characters that are always so complex and so diverse and so unbelievably believable, I wanted to create a character like that. I didn't want to be a human wearing alien makeup, I wanted to be an alien from outer space. Because it's so rare-usually you're a doctor or a nurse or a cop or the girl next door. But now you're an alien in space-awesome!
