Every Thursday, celebrate #TBT with us as we open the vault to share photos of Bravolebrities before they were famous—or revisit memorable moments from our shows. This week, watch Kyle Richards’ acting skills on the NBC drama ER!

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Bravo Tuesdays at 8/7c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

While we've always known she was a child star, the latest episode of RHOBH found Kyle Richards brushing up on her acting chops with a guest role on Days of Our Lives. While memorizing her lines, Kyle discussed old tricks her mom would use to help her learn her dialogue. And she even mentioned how George Clooney would sometimes write medical jargon on his hand on the set of ER to ensure he wouldn’t forget things.

Wait...what?

That’s right! Kyle had a recurring role as Nurse Dori and appeared in over 20 episodes of the award-winning drama from 1998-2006. In this clip from season 11, Kyle can be seen starting around the 7:40 mark in a tense situation with Shane West’s character, Dr. Ray Barnett.

After watching that clip, it should come as no surprise that Kyle continues to work. Still, here’s hoping all those years of fake emergency room drama have prepped her to keep her calm with her real-life drama in Beverly Hills.
