Marika Dominczyk has been acting since 2000, landing minor supporting roles and occasional arcs in a variety of projects. However, Dominczyk’s most prominent credits hail from “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” and most recently, “Barry.” Dominczyk’s run on “Grey’s Anatomy,” which consisted of 11 episodes between 2016-2017, was especially memorable, mostly because her character Dr. Eliza Minnick, who has genuinely attempted to breathe new life into the hospital’s residency program, wasn’t exactly popular with the show’s characters (or fans).

In 2017, Domincyk opened up to Entertainment Weekly about playing such an unlikeable character. “It’s so funny because, honestly, I don’t look at it that way,” shared Dominczyk. “As an actor, it’s so much fun to play this character for me, because I’m not like Eliza, I’m not Type-A. I’m not Eliza, so as an actor, it’s been the best and so fun to walk in and do this.” She continued, “Grey‘s has such an enormous fanbase that I wasn’t aware of. I take it all with a grain of salt. I look at Twitter. I feel like it would be so boring if you just loved everybody all the time. That’s my personal opinion. I think it’s fun and I think she shakes it up a bit.”
