Elizabeth Reaser is best known as mama-vamp Esme Cullen -- but she also played Serena Whitfield and Jillian Slaughter on "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" (2002, 2006). Oh, and Jane Doe, Rebecca Pope, and Ava on "Grey's Anatomy" (2007-2008). Yep -- three parts, one show. She's just that good. More recently, however, Elizabeth won the starring role in the CBS dramedy "The Ex List" (2008) in which she played a woman who, after being told by a psychic that she's already dated her future husband, seeks out her former flames. While that show fizzled out due to disappointing ratings, Elizabeth was able to land a recurring role on another CBS show, Emmy-winning "The Good Wife" (2010-2012). But way back in 1998, Elizabeth played the part of Molly on something called "Shaquille O'Neal's Sport Theater." Well, you've got to start somewhere. She followed that up with a one-episode appearance as Stace on "The Sopranos" in 2000. less
