BIO Boyle's first film role was a bit part in '''', but - largely due to her rise in fame, and increased film offers - Boyle chose not to return. Moira Kelly took over the role of Donna for the film. Boyle spent much of the nineties making a name for herself in films with varying degrees of success. Some of her most notable roles were that of the obsessive and accident-prone Stacy in '' Wayne's World '' ( 1992 ) , the fragile, homeless teen Heather in ''Where The Day Takes You'' ( 1992 ) , psycho secretary-from-hell Kris Bolin in what was geared to be her breakout success, but ultimately became a box-office bust, ''The Temp'' ( 1993 ) , the sultry and manipulative Suzanne of '' Red Rock West '' ( 1993 ) which solidified her status as a premier femme fatale, Alex, the sexually assured drama queen in the cult classic Generation X comedy ''Threesome'' ( 1994 ) and flighty, manically repressed housewife Marianne Byron in ''Afterglow'' ( 1997 ). Finally, in 1997 , Boyle auditioned for the title role in David E. Kelley 's '' Ally McBeal ''. Although she lost out to Calista Flockhart , Boyle impressed him enough to create the role of Assistant District Attorney Helen Gamble in his other 1997 series, '' The Practice '' specifically for her. She starred on the show until 2003 , when - in a dramatic attempt to revamp the show and cut costs - she was unceremoniously dismissed along with most of the other main cast. The role of Helen earned her an Emmy nomination, as well as household fame and several Screen Actors Guild ensemble cast nominations. She also made a crossover appearance in the role of Helen in an episode of ''Ally McBeal''. In 2002 , Boyle played a lead role in the blockbuster film '' Men In Black II '' as the villainous Alien Serleena. She also guest starred on one of the last episodes of ''Ally McBeal'' once again, only this time as Tally Cupp, a completely different role from that which she played before. Recently, she had a recurring role on several episodes of '' Huff '', playing Melody Coatar, an unstable Bipolar Manic-depressive . In 2005 , Boyle joined the cast of '' Las Vegas '' for a seven episode stint as new hotel owner Monica. PERSONAL LIFE
