Check out the showreel for actress Fleur Saville. Fleur portrayed the role of Ruby, who owned the saloon in Liberty, in The Tribe series 5.
Pre The Tribe, Fleur was in the hit New Zealand children’s series Being Eve, playing the title role of Eve Baxter. Post The Tribe she went on to become a household name in her role as Libby Jeffries in NZ medical drama Shortland Street and proved herself to be more than capable in playing comedic roles and serious situations.
You can also spot Jay Ryan (he had a guest role in the Tribe as a ‘Blue’ in series 4) towards the end of the end of the video.
Fleur Saville will be appearing in Underbelly : Land of the Long Green Cloud as the character Sue Macpherson.
Set in the 1970′s, the New Zealand series is about the story of the real Mr Asia, Marty Johnstone (played by Dan Musgrove), and New Zealand’s first ever drug cartel, The Syndicate. The setting of the story has a true background, with parts fictionalised for the drama.
Also appearing in the series is Tom Hern as Billy Kirby. I am unsure what episodes Fleur and Tom appear in, but the series has already kicked of and is showing in New Zealand on TV3 on Wednesdays 9.30pm.
Tangiwai, a TV movie made for TVNZ, was broadcast on Sunday 14th August 2011. The film featured Fleur Saville (The Tribe’s Ruby) as the character Eva Peacocke, a friend/confident to the lead female character Nerissa Love, played by Rose McIver.
Check out a video clip featuring Fleur Saville, Rose McIver and Ryan O’Kane (as Bob Blair) in the Tangiwai:
Fleur is definitely looking fab post Shortland Street, where she became a household name in her role as Libby Jeffries. The movie was a dramatisation of a true account of one persons life, which was affected by the Tangiwai traincrash in New Zealand in 1953.
We previously mentioned the production and Fleur’s appearance in it in February.

In the UK the channel Living TV will begin airing two episodes of Shortland Street every weekday from Monday 23 August 2010 at 15.00-16.00 (repeating at 10.00-11.00 the following day). Living will begin showing Shortland Street from it’s 2007 season.
The series will begin broadcasting from the episode that UK actor Adam Rickitt (Kieran Mitchell in Shorty) first appeared in the series, which is awesome news for Tribe fans. As Tom Hern (Baxter Cormack/Tribe’s Ram), Lee Donoghue (Hunter McKay/Tribe’s Spike) and Fleur Saville (Libby Jeffries/Tribe’s Ruby) were all part of the core cast around this time. Also we’ll get to see Vicky Rodewyk (Gel from The Tribe) appearing in the series as Madison Lodge in the first week the series airs on Living!
It is a shame the series is on Living on not on the free channels on Freeview. Another thing to bear in mind is that Living showed Outrageous Fortune in the UK for one series only, so who knows how long they’ll stick wilth Shorty?
Either way, welcome back to the UK Shorty!
With thanks to Scott for the info via Twitter.
