The Complicated Life of Teen Sitcom Star Turned Film Actress Elizabeth Berkley

In 2002, Berkley appeared in Roger Dodger, an independent film starring Campbell Scott and Jesse Eisenberg. The movie was far from the scale of Showgirls, but it gave her a respected smaller credit during a period when her career was still moving through supporting roles.

The project also helped show that she was not limited to glossy studio work or television guest appearances. Berkley was continuing to take parts wherever she could build range and stay active. After years of being defined by two famous roles, she was still trying to create a broader body of work.
