Still, Esposito felt unchallenged and after little more than a season and a half, opted to quit the show in favor of concentrating on a big screen career. [...] After playing several small dramatic roles in major pictures and starring in the low-budget independent thriller “The Proposal,” Esposito landed a starring comedic role opposite Dana Carvey in “Master of Disguise” and played alongside William H. Macy, Sam Rockwell and George Clooney in the Russo Brothers’ caper comedy “Welcome to Collinwood,” both released in 2002. [...] In late 2004 Espoito returned to series television with a recurring role on the CBS courtroom drama “Judging Amy” playing Crystal Turner, a social worker who runs an outreach program for homeless children. [...] The sultry beauty, who isn’t afraid to project what one of the show’s executive producers called “New York attitude”, trained at the Actors Studio and put in the requisite stint as a waitress before finding success.
