Vail Evans retired as an actor in 2001 in order to pursue her current career. Her most notable acting role was as a Russian scientist Dr. Olga Vukavitch in the late 1990s and early 2000s UPN science fiction television series "Seven Days". Vail received positive reviews for her performance on the show. In 2000, she won a Saturn Award for best supporting actress, winning out over "Stargate SG-1"s Amanda Tapping. In 2001, however, there were reports of dissatisfaction on set. Co-star Don Franklin expressed his dissatisfaction with the show, and Vail was reported to have left the show entirely (according to some show sources over a dispute with "Seven Days" co-star Jonathan LaPaglia), only to later return and finish the third season.
