The producers and writers gave me a lot of leeway. I was quite amazed with the life they gave me. [...] That does not happen too often in television. Often you arrive and just do what you are directed to do. It was really amazing to arrive and be given so much artistic license.

Biography

Peta Sergeant was born in 1980 in Malaysia and raised in Brisbane, Australia. While in high school, she had dreams of being a marine biologist, but a hobby for drama acting prompted her to audition and receive acceptance at the National Institute of Dramatic Art. She graduated in 2000 at twenty years old. Despite landing television roles and even producing a play fresh out of drama school, Peta decided to abandon the industry and travel overseas for eighteen months, which helped her gain a commitment to acting.[1] Her notable television credits include British science-fiction and drama series Jeopardy, Headland, and numerous Australian drama series such as Last Man Standing, All Saints, Canal Road and Satisfaction. She starred in the films Iron Sky and Crawlspace. In 2021, she joined the cast of Supergirl, as the magical imp Nyxlygsptlnz/Nyxly, a fifth Dimensional imp like Mr Mxyzptlk (who was played by fellow Once Upon a Time actor, Peter Gadiot, before being replaced by The Odd Couple actor, Thomas Lennon).

Peta has been married to actor Rohan Nichol since 2008.[1]
