BIOGRAPHY:

At the age of 16, she was approached by a modelling scout while she was waiting on the platform of a London tube station. She was not playing the banjo or busking as many people think, something which she referred to as "a myth" when asked about it on ITV1's Daily Cooks Challenge.
In 1992, she made her first acting appearance in The Lover, starring Jane March. At age 21, Lisa played the part of Alison Dangerfield in the British TV drama Dangerfield. She also starred in the 1994 British film A Feast at Midnight. In 1996 she appeared in The Beat Goes On. Two years later, she played Louise Hope in the Channel 4 soap Brookside. Between 1998 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 suffered a particularly gruesome fate that many viewers found disturbing. 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 W.D.S. Scribbins ("Scribbs") in Murder in Suburbia on ITV where she played a CID policewoman in company with Caroline Catz who played her gaffer, W.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.
It was rumoured that Faulkner had been shortlisted to play the role of D.I. Alex Drake in Ashes to Ashes, the sequel series to Life on Mars. However, Faulkner's former Spooks co-star Keeley Hawes was subsequently cast in the role.
Since June 2008, Faulkner has narrated BBC1 show Heir Hunters, replacing Nadia Sawalha.
She regularly teaches at Amanda Redman's Artists Theatre School


TRIVIA:

• The death of her character Helen in _"Spooks" (2002)_ (qv) caused many viewers to write in and complain about the disturbing nature and graphic nature of the scene. Her hand and then her face were pushed into a chip fryer full of boiling oil, and she was then shot, while her colleague was forced to watch.
• Her wedding, at Richmond Park in Surrey, featured champagne and bangers and mash.
