Lisa Tamsin Faulkner (born 19 February 1972) is an English actress and celebrity chef.
Faulkner was born in Merton, London, to a civil servant and a legal secretary. She was educated at Tiffin Girls' School in Kingston upon Thames.
Faulkner was sixteen when her mother, Julie, died from throat cancer. Faulkner has since then discussed this experience, along with the memories of her late mother, in a number of newspaper and magazine interviews.
At the age of 16, Faulkner was approached by a modelling scout while she was waiting on the platform of a London tube station.
In 1992 she made her first acting appearance in The Lover, starring Jane March. At age 23, Faulkner played the part of Alison Dangerfield in the British TV drama Dangerfield. She also starred in the 1995 British film A Feast at Midnight. In 1996 she appeared in And The Beat Goes On. Two years later, she played Louise Hope in the Channel 4 soap Brookside. Between 1999 and 2001, she played Dr Victoria Merrick on Holby City, before her character was stabbed to death in her own home by the father of a patient whose life she couldn't save.
In the TV show Spooks, her character Helen Flynn suffered a particularly gruesome fate. In only the second episode of the first series, Faulkner's character had her hand and face burnt in a deep fat fryer before being shot in the head at point-blank range, setting a precedent for later deaths in Spooks.
In 2004, she starred as D.S. Emma Scribbins ("Scribbs") in Murder in Suburbia on ITV where she played a CID policewoman in company with Caroline Catz who played her gaffer, D.I. Ashurst. The show returned for a second series in 2005, with Scribbs adopting the then popular fashion style of "boho-chic". In 2006, she starred in the TV series New Street Law.
