Faye Smythe (born 25 November 1985) is a New Zealand television actor, best known for her role in Shortland Street as Nurse Tania Jeffries.
Smythe finished high school and started work on a communications degree, but left college to train as a fitness instructor.
When she got a callback for Tania, she wasn't sure she even wanted the part - but she did the audition, and was asked to join the Shortland Street cast.
Smythe first auditioned for Shortland Street for the part of Tama Hudson's sister, Mihi.
She was asked to audition for Shannon before being offered the six-week role of Tama's cat-burgling friend Kat.
