	Actors - Abi Tucker

Abi Tucker (born 22 January 1973) is an Australian singer-songwriter who is actually best known for her acting roles in shows such as Heartbreak High
and The Secret Life of Us. She came to fame as a contestant in the Australian version of New Faces in the early 1990s and soon after won a role in the spinoff from Australian film The Heartbreak Kid - Heartbreak High. This diversion into the acting arena was probably an opportunity to get internationally known as a personality with the opportunity to launch a worldwide singing career from the show, a plan that had worked for Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan et al, and one that would be copied by Laura Vasquez, Natalie Imbruglia and Tammin Sursok. In fact both Heatbreak High and a sebsequent role in The Secret Life of Us gave Abi the exposure as a singer with slots not only on the show plus tracks on spin off CDs.

However unlike Kylie, Abi has not succeeded in having any large hits in the United Kingdom or North America and it wasn't until 2003 that her debut album Dreamworld was released. Even so, Abi is well known as a live music performer in Sydney whilst her songs have also appeared not only on The Secret Life of Us album but as well on the soundtrack to the movie Angst (where she plays the part of May).
