Despite her starring roles in the film Bend It like Beckham and the C4 series Second Generation, Parminder Nagra admits to being star-struck when she joined ER.

"It was fantastic and rather odd," says Nagra. "You've admired someone on TV and then suddenly you're there acting with them! On my first day I had scenes with Laura Innes (Dr Weaver) and Sherry Stringfield (Dr Lewis)."

Nagra, 28, is enjoying establishing her character, medical student Neela Rasgotra, with one eye on the long haul. "We can make it up as we go along and keep her close to me - so she likes orange juice!" Part of the challenge is adapting to life in LA, and coping without her friends and family. "You have to go where the work is. I'm giving myself seven years out there - maximum."
