Laura Innes was just a few episodes shy of breaking Noah Wyle's record of 254 "ER" episodes. She appeared as Dr. Kerry Weaver 249 times from Seasons 3 through 13 and then reunited with her cast mates for the series finale. Her portrayal earned her two Emmy nominations. Innes also directed 12 episodes of the series, which earned her a reputation behind the camera. She went on to helm episodes of "The West Wing" (for which she got another Emmy nomination), "Brothers and Sisters," "House M.D.," and "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip."
She returned to TV acting in the critically acclaimed drama "The Event," playing the leader of a group of aliens that had been detained by the U.S. government for 66 years. Sadly, it lasted only one season. In 2012, she portrayed a judge in the film "Model Minority" and a police captain in the short-lived NBC series "Awake."
