Acting career

Markle at 2012 Toronto International Film Festival

 

 

Markle worked as a freelance calligrapher to support herself between early acting jobs. Her first appearance on screen was a small role as a nurse in an episode of the daytime soap opera General Hospital. 


Early in her career, Markle had small guest roles on the television shows Century City (2004), The War at Home (2006), and CSI: NY (2006)^.  


 She also took on several contract acting and modeling jobs, including a stint as a "briefcase girl" on the US game show Deal or No Deal ^.   She appeared in Fox's series Fringe as Junior Agent Amy Jessup in the first two episodes of its second season.   


Markle had some difficulty getting roles early in her career. In 2015, she wrote: "I wasn't black enough for the black roles and I wasn't white enough for the white ones, leaving me somewhere in the middle as the ethnic chameleon who couldn't book a job."
