Faris made her acting debut in a 1991 TV movie titled Deception: A Mother’s Secret. In 1996, she made her film debut in the movie Eden, in which she played the role of Dithy. Her next movie appearance was in the 1999 film Lovers Lane.

Faris gained attention after playing the character Cindy in Scary Movie. She also starred in Scary Movie parts 2 and 3. Faris landed a recurring role on the series Mom in 2013. She played the character Christy until the recent announcement that she would be leaving the show. Her other acting roles include appearances in The Hot Chick, Lost in Translation, Friends, and Brokeback Mountain.

Scary Movie was Faris’ first big audition. She told Today show’s Savannah Guthrie she was afraid she would be fired after she got the role because she felt like she didn’t know what she was doing. “I auditioned every day in front of Keenan [Ivory Wayans], every day for a week, and then when I got the job at the end of the week, I thought, ‘They’re going to fire me because I have no idea what I’m doing and I’m not funny.’ I’m still not very funny.”
