In 2003, Aycox played Minxie Hayes, a psychic cheerleader, in Jeepers Creepers 2.[2][3] It was the sequel to the 2001 horror film Jeepers Creepers. From July to October 2005, Aycox portrayed Private Brenda "Mrs. B" Mitchell on Over There.[4] The series followed a unit of the United States Army's 3rd Infantry Division on its first tour of duty in occupied Iraq and chronicled the war's effects on the soldiers' families in the United States.
In 2006, Aycox guest starred in Criminal Minds as Amber Canardo, a sociopathic serial killer, in the episode "The Perfect Storm".

I think that when you bring a woman on that's going to be a powerful character, there's definitely going to be some sexuality put into the character. I added a lot of it on my own, but it was definitely in the script as well.
