A winsome ingenue with an impressive stage pedigree, Emily Bergl was understudying a part in a Broadway revival of Ah, Wilderness! when she landed the fiery lead role in The Rage: Carrie 2. Although she was subsequently offered a number of horror projects, she turned them down in favor of an illustrious theater career, which allowed her to showcase her range and her knack for accents, a talent she attributed to her English mother and Irish dad. After a number of TV appearances, including a high-profile part as a human-alien hybrid in the sci-fi miniseries Taken, Bergl signed on to Men in Trees in 2006, her first series-regular role. She plays Annie O'Donnell.
