You don’t have to search hard to find that the actress was born on April 25, 1975, thus she is currently 50 years old. Her place of birth was Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. This is where the actress originally hails from before her family moved to the United States of America.
She has a brother named Dr. Richard Alexander “Rich” Berg and the two were raised by their Irish mother, Roberta J. Bergl, and English father, Alexander Rodney Bergl. They were raised in Denver, Colorado till Emily was six years of age.
The declining state of the British economy influenced Emily’s father to look into getting an architectural job in the USA. This led to the Bergl family relocating to Colorado. Four years later, they moved to Glenview, Illinois where Emily spent most of her growing years.

Emily Bergl Developed a Flair for Theatrics at an Early Age
Emily had her high school education at Glenbrook South High School. She was involved in high school theatre productions where she played several lead roles. She would later further her education at Grinnell College where she majored in English and theatre and graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1997.
She spent a semester during her penultimate year in college, the spring of 1996, learning at the National Theater Institute at The Eugene O’Neill Theater Center. Then she received additional professional training in performing arts at the Herbert Berghof Studio located in New York City. Still as a college student, she earned an Actors Equity union card when she landed a role to play at Vermont’s Dorset Theater Festival.
Things didn’t go smoothly for Bergl after she graduated from college. She had a somewhat hard time finding her feet, even having to take up a job in a restaurant in Chicago. She moved to New York and had to share a small apartment with poor living conditions. The actress had to take up a temp job in law firms.
Emily desired to start back home in Chicago and this might have made life easier for her. However, her prized union card meant she couldn’t take up most available acting jobs in Chicago, as they were non-union. So for a while, she had to take life as it came, depending on her next job to scale her through.
And Began Acting on Broadway at Age 22
She debuted on Broadway in A Lion In Winter and won a Friends of New York Theatre Award. In 1998, she appeared in a Romeo and Juliet performance at San Diego’s Old Globe Theatre. Her acting skills must have been superb because barely a year later, she was scheduled to play Rachel Lang, the lead role in The Rage: Carrie 2, the sequel to the 1976 movie, Carrie.
This role didn’t come easy at all but it earned her a nomination for a Saturn Award under the category of Best Performance by a Younger Actor/Actress.
