The Secret Diary of Billie Piper

Gina Wilhelm Actress - The Secret Diary of Billie Piper

Billie Piper has a varied career. She signed a record deal at age 15. She was considered by many fans to be one of Dr. Who's best traveling companions.

Now at age 25 she stars in the Showtime series "Secret Diary of a Call Girl."

In the title role of Belle, Piper frequently breaks the fourth wall to address the audience. That aspect of the show actually made her more nervous than the show's subject matter.

I, on the other hand, love to break the fourth wall. It doesn't make me nervous at all.
