Career

1997–2006: Beginnings

Christensen began her professional career with a supporting role in the comedy film Leave It to Beaver, and a one-episode guest appearance on the drama series Nothing Sacred, both of which were released/aired in 1997.[8] She went on to guest star in numerous other television series in the late 1990s, including Frasier, The Practice, 3rd Rock from the Sun, and Touched by an Angel.[3][5] She also starred in the Disney Channel original movie Can of Worms in 1999.[9] Also in 1999, she starred as Abigail Winthrop on the short-lived CBS sitcom Thanks.[10] That same year, she featured in Michael Jackson's music video for his song "Childhood", alongside actress Jena Malone.[11]

For her performance as cocaine user Caroline Wakefield in Steven Soderbergh's crime drama film Traffic (2000),[12] she received the awards for Breakthrough Female Performance at the MTV Movie Awards,[5] Standout Performance – Female at the Young Hollywood Awards, and Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.[13] Also in 2000, Christensen guest starred in single episodes of Time of Your Life, Movie Stars, FreakyLinks, and The Pretender. In 2001, she had a recurring role on the sitcom The Geena Davis Show. She also appeared in an episode of the Fox sitcom That '70s Show, reuniting her with her Traffic co-star Topher Grace. She was named one of People's "Breakthrough Stars of 2001". The following year, Christensen starred in three feature films: the teen thriller Swimfan,[14] the crime drama Home Room,[15] and the comedy The Banger Sisters.[16]

In 2003, Christensen starred in MTV's television film adaptation of Wuthering Heights, based on the Emily Brontë novel of the same name.

In 2007, she appeared in the comedy-drama film Gardener of Eden,[26] and the independent crime comedy How to Rob a Bank.[27] In 2008 and 2009, she guest starred as a special agent on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, a college student with dissociative identity disorder on Lie to Me,[28] and a victim of domestic abuse on Mercy.
