Marg Helgenberger - Helgenberger Wants Theatre Role

The actress quit the crime drama after 12 seasons playing forensics expert Catherine Willows and her final episode aired in the U.S. this month (Jan12).

Helgenberger is determined to take on a variety of different roles, revealing she would love to test her singing and dancing skills in a "musical comedy" movie or tackle a part on the New York stage.

She tells the Hollywood Reporter, "I've been in meetings - a possible television series. I'd like to do some movies. Doing a musical comedy would be a lot of fun... I've definitely got to do some kind of Broadway or off-Broadway show.

"Hopefully it will be a good experience. You never really know. You pray to the literary gods and hope that you get something really great."
