Her first significant film role was in the independent production Lovers Lane (1999, as an ill-fated cheerleader). Her breakout role was in the horror film parody Scary Movie (2000). The 5'4" Faris, a natural blonde, dyed her hair black for the filming of Scary Movie and Scary Movie 2, so that her character more closely resembled Neve Campbell, who played the corresponding character in Scream, the main film that Scary Movie parodied.
