Meghan Markle’s Brief Appearance in “Remember Me” Raises Questions About Her Acting Career
Meghan Markle, now famously known as the Duchess of Sussex, made a brief appearance in the 2010 film “Remember Me.”
Starring Robert Pattinson and Emily de Ravin, the film was produced by Meghan's then-husband, Trevor Engelson.
In the movie, Meghan plays a bartender named Meghan, but the film is now more recognized for its shocking ending rather than her cameo.
Reflecting on her time filming “Remember Me,” Meghan shared her experience in a January interview with herworld.com.
When asked about working with Robert Pattinson, she expressed admiration for the actor.
Although they filmed several scenes together, only her bar scene made it to the final cut.
Meghan described Pattinson as a sweetheart and a great example of someone who remains humble and gracious despite immense stardom.
Interestingly, when asked about Meghan Markle, it took Pattinson a moment to remember who she was.
His response was brief, suggesting that he may not recall working with the Duchess.
This contrast in recollection raises questions about the significance of Meghan's role in the film.
It is not uncommon for producers to cast their loved ones or partners in prominent movies, even if their acting skills are lacking.
In Meghan's case, her acting career was not flourishing, and it appears she relied on relationships to secure roles.
Her most notable performance was in the television series “Suits,” where she played Rachel Zane, a biracial lawyer.
However, this achievement did not translate into substantial success in Hollywood.
Meghan managed to secure minor speaking parts in popular films, thanks to her then-husband Trevor Engelson's influence as a producer.
However, it seems Trevor was aware of her limited acting abilities and hesitated to cast her in significant projects.
Furthermore, Meghan's father, who worked as a lighting director, played a role in her securing a speaking role in “General Hospital.”
These instances suggest that Meghan relied on the connections and resources of the men in her life to advance her career.
Meghan once claimed that she faced challenges in finding roles due to her mixed-race background.
However, the issue may not solely lie with casting directors, as talent is often prioritized over ethnicity in the industry.
Many successful biracial actors, such as Lenny Kravitz, Lisa Bonet, and their daughter Zoe Kravitz, have thrived in Hollywood.
Their achievements highlight the importance of talent rather than race.
In conclusion, Meghan Markle's brief appearance in “Remember Me” has brought attention to her acting career and the limitations she faced.
While her connections and relationships may have opened doors for her, it is clear that talent played a significant role in her lack of success.
Hollywood is home to numerous biracial actors who have achieved great success, proving that talent and dedication are the key factors in the industry.
