Elizabeth Berkley Shows Up CSI: Miami
Having already been there and done that in Las Vegas, Elizabeth Berkley is heading south for the winter.
The onetime CSI guest star (what, you thought we were referring to Showgirls?) will be joining CSI: Miami next month as a recurring character, a CBS spokeswoman confirmed to E! Online.
Berkley has signed on to play Julia Winston, ex-wife of Horatio Caine and mother of Kyle, the son that David Caruso's police lieutenant only recently discovered he had. As befitting a cops 'n crime drama, Julia lands at the center of a Miami-Dade murder investigation when her billionaire husband winds up dead.
Berkley's first episode, "Raising Caine," is slated to air next month, so the ongoing writers strike will not affect her CSI: Miami debut; however, her follow-up appearances could be compromised once the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced procedural runs out of completed scripts.
The CSI brain trust has said that it will have 13 out of an ordered 24 episodes of its Florida-set installment in the can, enough to take it into January thanks to holiday-time repeats. "Raising Caine" is episode 12.
But while her number of appearances is still to be determined, the high-profile screen time still bodes well for Berkley.
The 35-year-old actress, who went from feminist Saved by the Bell smarty to skin-baring Showgirls smutty seemingly in a matter of minutes back in the 1990s, has spent the last 10 years racking up a more tasteful assortment of TV and film credits, including roles in The First Wives Club, Any Given Sunday, The Curse of the Jade Scorpion and Rodger Dodger.
Berkley has also guest-starred on Jack & Jill, NYPD Blue, CSI, Without a Trace and, most recently, Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
All of which was leading to her most plum prime-time role yet: CSI: Miami is currently the eighth most-watched show on TV, averaging 15.9 million viewers a week, per Nielsen Media Research.
