After leaving her talk show behind, Watts headed to Hollywood to pursue a career in acting. Her first break was in 1997 when she was cast as Vivica Shaw in "Sister, Sister", a role she played for six episodes. Since then Watts has had guest starring roles in dozens of television shows, including "The West Wing", "JAG", "The District" "Yes, Dear", and soap operas "Days of Our Lives" and "The Bold and the Beautiful". In 2002, Soap Opera Digest named her "Scene Stealer of the Week" for her role as the cut-throat Attorney Cameron Reese on "Days of our Lives". Watts is also the CEO/president of her own production company, Watts Works Productions, which co-produced her talk show "Rolonda." In 2005, she hosted "Lie Detector", a reality series for PAX-TV. That same year, she took over as announcer on "Judge Joe Brown". She also appeared on "Live With Regis and Kelly" where she traveled cross-country as a judge for the show's "Great American Co-Host Search."
