Tammin Sursok Movies
A native of Johannesburg, South Africa, actress Tammin Sursok moved to Sydney, Australia, with her family in early childhood and projected an intense interest in performance from a tender age. Later, Sursok trained formally as a speech and drama major at London's esteemed Trinity College, before hearkening back to the land down under and snagging her first major role as Dani Sutherland on the Aussie soap Home and Away (2002-2004). A move to Hollywood ensued, where Sursok landed parts in such projects as the features Crossing Over (2008) and Albino Farm (2009). Fans, however, will most commonly associate her with her ongoing portrayal of Colleen Carlton, mischievous (and somewhat foolhardy) daughter of Traci Abbott and Brad Carlton, on CBS's daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless. Alongside her acting career, Sursok also signed for a recording contract as a vocalist on Sony-BMG records, with her first single debuting on the Australian charts in fall 2004. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Two teenagers think they have problems until they come to the rescue of a girl with a fishy story to tell in this teen-oriented comedy. Thirteen-year-old Claire (Emma Roberts) and same-aged Hailey (Joanne "JoJo" Levesque) are two close friends living in Tampa, FL, who are facing a separation in a few weeks -- Claire's mother is a marine biologist who has been given a prestigious new job in Australia, meaning the girls are not likely to see much of each other again. While the girls wonder if there's anything they can do to avoid the inevitable, a storm breaks out and the waves toss an unusual example of sea life into Hailey's swimming pool -- Aquamarine (Sara Paxton), a teenaged mermaid who has some problems of her own. Aquamarine's father is a leader of the undersea world who has arranged for his daughter to marry a boy whom she doesn't care for. It seems Dad doesn't put much stock in the land-locked notion of love, and unless Aquamarine can prove to him that it's real, she will have to go through with the wedding. Claire and Hailey find Aquamarine, and discover that she fortunately sprouts legs when on dry land during the daylight hours; after learning of her romantic dilemma, they decide to help her by teaching her how to turn the head of Raymond (Jake McDorman), a cute lifeguard at the nearby beach. However, pretty Aquamarine learns her lessons well enough to make Cecilia (Arielle Kebbel), a mean girl with a crush on Raymond, jealous, leading her into a battle over the young man's affections, which Aquamarine has to win if she wants to avoid a loveless marriage. Aquamarine was the first feature film from director Elizabeth Allen. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Running neck and neck with Neighbors as Australia's most popular TV soap opera, Home and Away debuted January 17, 1988. Set in the resort town of Summer Bay, New South Wales, the series originally concentrated on the lives of the Fletcher family, who had set up a tourist trailer park in the community. Like most other continuing dramas, however, the longer Home and Away remained on the air, the more it focused on younger, more attractive characters than the comparatively middle-aged Fletchers. Created by Alan Bateman, Home and Away was telecast weeknights at 7:00 p.m., attaining the 3,000-episode mark in March 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
