Meghan Markle not only appeared in low-budget TV movies and shows. In 2016, she starred in the Hallmark movie “Dater’s Handbook” and played the role of Cass. Cass was a successful businesswoman with a not-very-successful love life. It was this rom-com movie that introduced her to a wider audience.
Meghan said in one of her interviews that she enjoyed doing this movie because she felt many women would be able to relate to the story. The story of trying to balance working life with one’s love life. Is this one of her career highlights? No. But still, a movie to remember.
You Can See Her in Horrible Bosses
"Horrible Bosses" featured top actors such as Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacy, Jamie Foxx, and Jason Bateman, just to name a few, which is already something to be proud of. It's not every day you get to play in a movie with first-class talents such as those we just mentioned.
We know that playing the role of a FedEx delivery girl is not really a highlight in any actor's career, but she got to have her name listed on the credits with all of those big stars, which, let’s face it, is much more than you can say about yourself.
London Calling
Many years before Meghan Markle landed in Buckingham Palace, she played the role of the girlfriend of one of the characters, and took place in London, not knowing that in a few years' time, it would become her permanent home (well, for the first few months after her wedding anyway).
"Anti-Social" was released in 2015 and covered a jewelry robbery blended into the story of a relationship between two brothers and what comes between them. It was no big hit, Meghan is not remembered for her acting abilities but playing a role in London must have paved the path for the future.
When Sparks Fly
Another Hallmark movie featuring the Duchess. In "When Sparks Fly," Meghan plays the role of a journalist who returns to her hometown to write an article. She surprisingly discovers that everything she left behind, seeking new adventures in her life, remained exactly the same as it was.
She then realizes that what she thought was unnecessary in her life, was just what she needed to make it complete. Just like Prince Charming, we suppose. We all need one to make our lives complete. Don't you think? The movie had mixed reviews and only got a rating of 5.1/10 on the site IMDb.
It's Time for Century City
"Century City" aired in 2004 and lasted for just under a year due to low ratings. Meghan started her law-acting career on this show, as this too was a legal drama. This was good practice for her "Suits" future. The sci-fi drama series only ran for one season over nine episodes and was headlined by actors Nestor Carbonell, Viola Davis and Ioan Gruffudd.
It was produced by the same producers of the famed series “Law & Order” and “Law & Order: UK.” Although the role was small, her appearance was grand as more surprises were waiting for her down the line.
