Raelee Hill (born October 24, 1972 in Brisbane, Australia), is an Australian actress best-known for her roles in some of her country's most successful television series. Her first major role was as Loretta Taylor in Paradise Beach, which was followed shortly afterwards with the characters Serendipity Gottlieb in Neighbours and Constable Tayler Johnson in Water Rats.
Raelee is most widely-known internationally though for her part as Sikozu Svala Shanti Sugaysi Shanu in the sci-fi television series Farscape. Having originally auditioned for the part of Commandant Mele-On Grayza she was considered "too likeable" for a villain and the role of Sikozu was created especially for her by Executive Producer David Kemper.
She made her film début in the 1996 romantic comedy Hotel de Love, and her theatre credits include the role of Wendy in Pan for The Jim Henson Company, as well as Tasting Sugar Lake for Budinskis Theatre. She had a role in the 2005 Indonesian film about the 2002 Bali bombing, Long Road to Heaven.
Her recent film role is in 2007, appearing in The Final Winter.
Originally auditioned for the role of Commandant Mele-On Grayza, not Noranti on "Farscape" as commonly believed. The producers found that she was "too likeable" to be considered a villain; thus Executive Producer David Kemper created the role of Sikozu Shanu for her in the season 4 premiere episode "Crichton Kicks" after being impressed by her audition for Grayza.
