Emily Bergl

Emily Bergl's big break came with the lead role of Rachel Lang in the 1999 film, "The Rage: Carrie 2," the sequel to the 1976 supernatural thriller "Carrie." Much of her acting also takes place on television. Bergl has appeared in episodes of the TV shows "Gilmore Girls," "CSI: Miami," "Medium," "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," "NYPD Blue" and "Star Trek: Enterprise." She also appeared in the psychological thriller "Chasing Sleep," opposite star Jeff Daniels. Bergl had a major role in the Steven Spielberg 2002 miniseries "Taken."

Bergl had a significant co-starring role in the ABC series "Men in Trees" as Annie, an enthusiastic fan of the series' main character, relationship expert Marin Frist (Anne Heche). Annie travels to every event Marin appears at, and ends up in Elmo, Alaska with Marin. Annie stays in Elmo (as does Marin after she decides to re-evaluate her life), when she meets Patrick Bachelor (Derek Richardson), a local hotel desk clerk and radio DJ she knew through online chats about Marin's books.

Recently, Bergl played in Becky Shaw at Second Stage Theatre in New York in the beginning of 2009. As of the season's second episode Bergl played Paul Young's new wife, Beth, in the seventh season of "Desperate Housewives."

Since 2010, Bergl has performed a cabaret show called "Kidding on the Square," which had a run in the summer of 2010 in Los Angeles and New York City, then later in Chicago.
