She also appeared in major cinematic movie releases Man About Town (2006), with Ben Affleck and Rebecca Romijn, and with Wesley Snipes in Blade:Trinity (2004).

In 2006, she starred in the music video for the Michael Bublé song "Save the Last Dance for Me". That year also saw her land her most successful role to date, when she was cast as Deputy Jo Lupo in Syfy series Eureka from 2006-2012.

She appeared in Warehouse 13, Sanctuary (2009), Supernatural (2011), and Motive (2014). She had a recurring role in the 2014 USA Network series Rush (2014), and appeared in the CW series iZombie (2015).
