Why Hollywood Won't Cast Elizabeth Berkley Anymore

Berkley has kept relatively busy with television roles for almost 20 years, thanks to brief stints on NYPD Blue, The L Word and CSI: Miami, as well single-episode guest spots on shows like New Girl, Melissa & Joey and Law & Order: Criminal Intent, among others.

Berkley has kept relatively busy with television roles for almost 20 years, thanks to brief stints on NYPD Blue, The L Word and CSI: Miami, as well single-episode guest spots on shows like New Girl, Melissa & Joey and Law & Order: Criminal Intent, among others.

She also starred in numerous TV movies, including Lucky Christmas, Becoming Dick, and the Lifetime classic Student Seduction. The problem is that none of these were starring roles on long-running series or theatrical movie releases. So, if viewers missed an episode or two of any of these shows, or just weren't home for a TV movie airing, she wouldn't have made a mark in their consciousness, even if her performances were fantastic.

Berkley's movie roles have been similarly small. Although she's had parts in films Roger Dodger, Any Given Sunday, and The First Wives Club, she really wasn't given too much opportunity to make that big of an impression on audiences. These projects, while absolutely respectable for any working actress, unfortunately failed to get Berkley the buzz she may have needed to get a blockbuster shot anytime soon.
