Mayim Bialik Returns to Acting After A Long Hiatus - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Mike: You left acting for awhile. Now we see you on "Saving Grace," "Bones," and a few episodes of "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Do you like guest starring more or would you be open to being a regular on a series again?

Mayim Bialik: Oh! I would definitely be open to being a regular. I think part of the, sort of, blessing and curse of being this former, you know, TV person is... Part of it is starting with auditioning and getting out there and seeing what people want to hire you in. I think the industry swings different ways and I think, right now, it might be a little harder for me to have my own TV show [compared to] when I was 14 years old and I was just in "Beaches" and somebody wanted to have me star in a TV show.

Mike: I recently interviewed Mark-Paul Gosselaar about "Raising the Bar" and obviously he's in a similar situation where he's very known for a character he played when he was younger. Do you go out of your way to seek out roles to say, "Hey, I'm not [Blossom Russo]"?

Mayim Bialik: I think it's important, I think, to a certain extent. I'm not exactly saying "beggars can't be choosers" but you're also at the mercy of what the industry allows you to audition for. If you're submitted and you're accepted for something you go out for it and do your best. I think what's important -- like in terms of what my manager thinks (laughs) -- is for people to see that I can do different things and I'm not the same person I was. I mean, no one is the same person now as they were when they were 19 ... It's funny, on "Secret Life" they wanted me as this sexy, evil school counselor, which I think is fun. I think people are going to laugh a lot when they see this. You know, I can wear tight clothes,I just choose not to for the most part (laughs).
