| - Claudia Leigh is a fictional character from the Australian television drama City Homicide, played by Tasma Walton. Shortly after the actress relocated to Melbourne, she was approached by producer MaryAnne Carroll to appear in the series. Carroll asked Walton whether she would be interested in a recurring role. Walton had previously turned down several acting jobs, while waiting for the right one to come along and she was cautious about taking the City Homicide role. She revealed that she did not want a repeat of her Blue Heelers character Dash McKinley. However, Walton was immediately interested in Claudia's job as a criminal profiler and her semi-regular status. Walton's casting was announced on 1 February 2009 and she made her debut screen appearance in the second season episode "Rage", which was broadcast on 22 March 2009. Claudia Leigh is a criminal profiler and psychologist. As profiling is not a big department within the Australian police force, dramatic licence was taken with Claudia and it was stated that she came up through the detective ranks, before becoming a specialised criminal psychologist. Walton explained that Claudia is fascinated with the workings of the criminal mind and comes from an intellectual approach. Walton described her as a pretty straightforward and assertive character. A major storyline for Claudia saw her tasked with putting together a profile for a case featuring a serial rapist, who has murdered one of his victims. Claudia unsuccessfully tries to get a confession from the prime suspect Daniel Worthington (Martin Sacks), before he is bailed. Daniel later follows Claudia home and attacks her. Walton said portraying the scenes was "challenging and required a strong level of emotional intensity". (en)
