Kari Matchett: TV Guide News

Kari Matchett: My ER Love Interest Is "Not the Obvious Choice" | Today's News: Our Take | 11/28/2007
One of the new faces on ER this season is that of Kari Matchett, who plays traveling doc Skye Wexler. "She's just dropping in to Chicago to do a month or two of locum work in order to make money to go surfing," says Matchett. "That's her real passion." Being County General, another passion soon beckons, with Wexler finding a love interest on Thursday’s episode. "She's a pretty noncommittal woman... but she digs this guy a lot," teases the actress. "It's not the obvious choice, but it's a good one." And given her five-episode arc, perhaps a bit more than a mere roll in the hay. Of course, milling about in the world of medicine came natural to Matchett, who worked hospitals on two of her most recent gigs, Heartland and Invasion. "Prior to making the decision of becoming an actor, I wanted to be a doctor," she admits. "I feel like somehow I've gotten the best of both worlds." — Reporting by Bekah Wright read more
Episode Recap: "The Test" | ER | 11/2/2007
This was definitely one of the tougher episodes in recent memory, especially being the mother of a son. Watching Gates’ brave young patient succumb to his terminal respiratory disease was almost too much to bear. The scene with the chaplain and the mother watching his struggle for each breath was heartbreaking, made even more so by the courage and conviction the boy demonstrated by making the decision not to go on a ventilator. On a much more lighthearted note, I felt like there was a lot of chemistry between Sam and Gates as they butted heads over the ethical handling of the case. I’ve said it before, but I really feel like a Sam-Tony pairing would be an interesting place to go, especially when you think about the kids and the connection they would have there. Come on ER writers, throw me a bone!As Pratt and Morris opted for a rather nontraditional approach to preparing for their board exams, a new attending came on the scene. I loved Kari Matchett on both Invasion and... read more
Exclusive: Kari Matchett Invades ER! | Ausiello Report | 9/12/2007
As I first scooped in Ask Ausiello, ER has admitted the luminous Kari Matchett (Invasion, 24, Heartland) to play County General's newest attending. Her character, Skye Wexler, is described as tough and outdoorsy and is moonlighting in the ER to raise money for her world travels. And although an interoffice romance would seem inevitable — c'mon, look at her — a Peacock insider insists there are no immediate plans for Skye to bed any of her fellow docs. (The key word there being immediate.)Matchett's first airdate is Nov. 1, roughly one week after Reiko Aylesworth shows up as the hospital's hot and hip new chaplain. In related news, I so wasn't planning to watch ER this season, but these back-to-back casting coups are going to make it hard to resist. Am I right or am I right? read more
