Billie
Paul Piper (born Leanne
Paul Piper on 22
September 1982) is an
English actress. She
began her career as a
pop singer in her teens,
but is now best known
for her role as Rose
Tyler, assistant to the
Doctor in the television
series Doctor
Who.
In
2003, Billie Piper
decided to end her pop
career and return to her
original ambition,
acting. She took acting
lessons while living in
Los Angeles and, still a
high-profile figure,
quickly earned roles in
the BBC Television
series The Canterbury
Tales (modern retellings
of Chaucer's stories)
and the one-off drama
Bella and the
Boys.
In
November 2005, she
starred as Hero in a BBC
adaptation of Much Ado
About Nothing, updated
for the modern day in a
similar manner to the
Canterbury Tales series
in which she featured,
with Hero now being a
weather presenter in a
television
station.
In
May 2004, it was
announced that Billie
Piper was to play the
character Rose Tyler,
companion to the Doctor
in the revived series of
Doctor Who, beginning in
2005.
