Alex Kingston
 (Dr. Elizabeth Corday)

Dr. Elizabeth Corday is a gifted British surgeon who has come to the States to gain experience in the violent traumas unique to an urban American E.R.

Alex Kingston, who won acclaim in the title role of the PBS miniseries Moll Flanders, joined television's top-rated series, ER during its fourth season, as the spirited British surgeon, Dr. Elizabeth Corday (1997-). Kingston was inspired to pursue an acting career by her English teacher at the all-girls grammar school she attended in Epsom, where she often had leading roles in school plays. She landed her first professional role at age 15 as a judo-trained bully on the successful British TV series Grange Hill. While Kingston tended to play classical characters on the stage, she took on contemporary roles in British television programs, including A Killing Exchange, The Knock and I Hate Christmas and in the American cable movies Weapons of Mass Distraction and The Infiltrator. Her feature film credits include Carrington, The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, Croupier, The Essex Boys and This Space Between Us, with ER co-star Erik Palladino.
