Career

Early work (1996–2006)

I was naturally skinny and had braces, so I wasn't a cute model. I never felt pretty but it was fun and I got a cool pay check to buy sweets with.

-Seyfried on her modeling career[7]

During Seyfried's time modeling, she appeared in print ads for clothing companies including Limited Too with Leighton Meester, and was featured on three covers of the Sweet Valley High novel series.[2][8] She stopped modeling when she was seventeen,[2] and worked as a waitress in a retirement community.[9] Seyfried took voice lessons, studied opera, and trained with a Broadway coach while still a teen. She began acting as an uncredited extra in the daytime drama television series Guiding Light.[10] From 2000 to 2001, she portrayed the recurring character Lucy Montgomery on the CBS soap opera As the World Turns.[10] She played Joni Stafford on the ABC soap All My Children from 2002 to 2003.[11]

In 2003, Seyfried auditioned to play the role of Regina George in Mean Girls; the role eventually went to Rachel McAdams. While she was initially considered to play the lead role of Cady Heron, played by Lindsay Lohan, the producers of the film decided that Seyfried should play Karen Smith, Regina's dim-witted "Plastic" friend and sidekick.[10][12] The film was a box-office success, earning over US$129 million in its theatrical run.[13] Seyfried's performance in the film earned her, along with Lohan, Lacey Chabert, and McAdams, an MTV Movie Award in the category of "Best On-Screen Team".[14] Seyfried auditioned to play the title character on UPN's television series Veronica Mars.[10] The role eventually went to Kristen Bell, and Seyfried portrayed Veronica's murdered best friend, Lilly Kane.[10] Her character was only shown in flashbacks.[10] The show's creator, Rob Thomas, felt that Seyfried's portrayal as Lilly Kane was so outstanding that he used her more times in the show than he initially planned in the first season.[15] Seyfried appeared in 10 episodes from 2004–2005.[11]

In 2005, Seyfried played the lead character, Samantha, a role written by director Rodrigo García specifically for her, in one of the nine parts of the film Nine Lives, composed of nine short films with different themes and an ensemble cast.[16] For her performance, Seyfried, along with the film's other female leads, won an award from the Locarno International Film Festival, for Best Actress.[17] The same year she played supporting character, Mouse, in the independent film American Gun.[11] In 2006, Seyfried appeared in five episodes of Wildfire as Rebecca and had a lead role as Chrissy in the short film Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves, by writer-director Andrea Janakas. Seyfried also contributed a minor role as Julie Beckley in Alpha Dog. From 2004 to 2006 Seyfried made multiple guest appearances on television series, including House, M.D., Justice, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, American Dad! and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.[10]

Breakthrough (2006–2011)

Seyfried's profile gained prominence due to her role in the highly acclaimed HBO drama television series Big Love. The series centers on a fictional fundamentalist Mormon family, in which Seyfried plays Sarah Henrickson, Bill and Barb's first daughter, who struggles with her family's polygamous faith.[18] Big Love premiered in the United States on March 12, 2006. In December 2009, HBO confirmed that Seyfried would return for the show's fourth season, but that it would be her last, as Seyfried wished to concentrate on her film career and upcoming projects.[19]

Following Big Love Seyfried had a supporting role, as Zoe, in the 2008 horror drama film Solstice, and she co-starred alongside Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia!, a romantic comedy film adaptation of the 1999 musical of the same name.[7] Mamma Mia! was Seyfried's first leading role. The film was the fifth highest grossing film of 2008,[20] and as of January 2013 is the 73rd highest grossing film of all time.[21] Her musical performance in Mamma Mia! was released on the film's soundtrack, for which she recorded five songs.[22] As part of promotion for both the film and its soundtrack, Seyfried recorded a music video of the song, entitled "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)".

In March 2008 Seyfried was cast in the comedy horror film Jennifer's Body.[23] In the film Seyfried was cast as Anita "Needy" Lesnicki, the title character's best friend.[23] The film, which premiered at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival and was released to theaters on September 18, 2009,[24] received mixed reviews from critics.[25] The same year she was cast in the comedy-drama independent film Boogie Woogie. She played Paige Oppenheimer, one of the lead roles in the ensemble movie. The movie was originally shown on June 26, 2009, at Edinburgh International Film Festival, and was officially shown in US theaters April 25, 2010.[26] On February 22, 2009, Seyfried presented an award and performed at the 2009 Annual 81st Academy Awards ceremony.[27] In early March 2009 director Zack Snyder had tapped Seyfried to portray the lead role, Baby Doll, in Sucker Punch,[28] but Seyfried had to drop out of the film due to scheduling conflicts with Big Love.[2][29]
