The wrinkly, inscrutable Noranti isn’t Melissa Jaffer’s first appearance on Farscape - she had parts in the season two episodes The Way We Weren’t, voicing Moya’s first Pilot, and Vitas Mortis as the old Nilam.

A veteran actor on the Australian scene, Melissa has appeared in many films and TV series from the seventies onwards, including cult horror flick The Cars that Ate Paris. Her most recent roles before Farscape included the part of Amanda Villiers in start-up grant saga Head Start and Helen Cooper in mini-series The Farm.
