Erika has been training as an
actress for many years. In her "early years" Erika performed a great deal
in live theatre; acting, dancing and singing for audiences in hundreds of
shows throughout Southern California. After having worked in lead roles
with several groups including the Serendipity Theatre Company and Pasadena
Dance Theatre, Erika made the decision to become a professional actress.
With this resolve and an enormous store of acting, singing and dancing
"triple-threat" talent, Erika went on to be cast in such diverse projects
as Michael Jackson's music video "Childhood" and sang back-up vocals on
Neil Diamond's "The Christmas Album II."
Transitioning her talent to television and film, Erika landed the role of
Karen, Wally Cleaver's girlfriend in Universal's "Leave It To Beaver,"
where she was critically noted for the chemistry and radiant
self-assurance she brought to the character.
Erika's television credits include "Frasier," "Third Rock from the Sun,"
and "Movie Stars." While she loves to play comedy, she has also gravitated
to dramatic roles, playing in award winning TV dramas such as "The
Practice," "Touched By An Angel," and "Nothing Sacred." Erika's
outstanding performance in "Nothing Sacred" was recognized for it's
sensitivity and depth and was nominated by the Hollywood Reporter for the
prestigious 1998 Young Star Award; "Best Performance by a Young Actress in
a Drama TV Series."
Also busy with film projects, Erika's film roles include the Disney film
"Can of Worms" in which she played the teenage heroine, Katelyn. The made
for tv movie was released on The Disney Channel in April 1999. More
recently, Erika stars as Michael Douglas' drug-addicted daughter in the
critically acclaimed film "Traffic," also starring Catherine Zeta-Jones,
James Brolin, Topher Grace ("That '70s Show") and Majandra Delfino
("Roswell").
Erika later appeared in "Home Room," which highlights her acting talents
as she plays Deanna Cartwright, a student involved in a high school
shooting incident. "Swimfan" features Erika as Madison Bell, a girl who's
one-night-stand with a fellow student leads to sinister consequences. Her
recent project, "The Banger Sisters," also stars Goldie Hawn and Susan
Sarandon, and she can soon be seen in "The Perfect Score." |
