Comments from actress Elizabeth Berkley, who appears as a guest star in tonight’s episode of CBS’s Threshold, is online at TVGuide. Spoilers follow:
I figure you must either be super-jazzed about your Threshold gig and/or a very good gal pal of Carla Gugino's to do press for this, seeing as how you're opening yourself up to Showgirls ribbing.
"Well, put it this way: I wouldn't assume that someone would hit me with Showgirls jokes if they know what's been up with me lately. How's that for a response? [Laughs] There's so much more to talk about, so that if they resort to old jokes, then they're really not with it, you know what I'm saying?"
So how does Threshold's Red Team ascertain that you're an alien infectee?
"The first thing I want to say is that I think that Threshold is one of the best new shows out there, which is one of the reasons I wanted to join this amazing cast. Barbara Nance, the writer of this episode, created an incredible, strong female character who I knew I would have a lot of fun playing. There are fight scenes, there is glamour, and there's this fun cat-and-mouse game between me and Brian Van Holt, who plays Cavennaugh. All the dynamics were in place. But what was fun was when Carla called me not knowing that they had offered it, and even though we only have a couple of scenes together, we were both so excited. Across the board, the cast is amazing. The only other guest spots I've done in the last couple of years were on shows that were already established, like Without a Trace and CSI and NYPD Blue, so it was fun to be a part of something from the beginning."

, right?
"You can't know that. Is that in your notes? That's weird. Well, I didn't tell you that. But I am infected by the alien signal, that I can tell you. My character has a wild, mysterious connection to three other women who are also infected. OK? [Laughs] But Brian Van Holt is great; I literally flew in from New York, and he and I had to learn choreography for a fight sequence as well as for this beautiful dance sequence. It was crazy."
"...I play Christine, a former model and the trophy wife of this billionaire. That's who this woman was before getting infected by the aliens. She had this boring but comfortable life."
