Julianna Margulies' post-ER career has been eclectic, to say the least. Instead of leveraging her star-making role as nurse Carol Hathaway into years of leading-lady movie roles, she has decided to go the more funky route, playing supporting roles in smaller movies (and in the summer's most anticipated cheesy movie, Snakes on a Plane), doing Broadway plays, and taking guest shots in series like Scrubs and The Sopranos.Now comes word that she will star in a "limited series" for the Sci Fi Channel called The Lost Room.

My guess is that she made enough money from E.R. that she feels that she doesn't need to get the big movies and the paychecks that come with them, rather doing what she wants to do. I don't know anything about her personal life, but that might have something to with it too.
