Jaimee Kaire-Gataulu (born April 7, 1987) is a New Zealand television actress who is best known for her role as Cloe in Cloud 9's series, The Tribe. She played the long-running role in Series 1 through 4 and also proved to be one of the show's favourite characters with fans.

Biography

Kaire-Gataulu was born at St. Helens Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand. She began appearing in short films and commericals at the age of 5. She made her acting debut in the short film The Kiwi and The Water Melon (1993) [1] followed by appearances in two other short films, The Birthday (1994) and Clown Story (1996). Her other television roles included parts in The Visitation and the popular action hero show Xena: The Warrior Princess. She also worked as a reporter on What Now. [2]

During the series, she was particularly close to co-star Dan Weekes-Hannah (Ved) [1] whom her character would later become involved in a romantic storyline. While filming 'The Tribe,' Jaimee lived in the cast house with Weekes. During an interview, Weeks claimed that they flirted together and dated, which was against the rules. But they broke up soon after The Tribe ceased production. Weekes claimed that an impromptu train ride to Auckland with Kaire-Gataulu caused them to miss a scheduled shooting. Their absence caused shooting to be resheduled costing the studio upwards of one hundred thousand dollars. Both were dropped from the show, Kaire-Gataulu being fired immediately while Weeks was written out later on in the season. [3]
