She is perhaps best known for playing Meg Pryor on NBC's American Dreams and Ariel, a neo-Nazi high school student on the third season of Nip/Tuck. In 2005, Snow appeared in The Pacifier with action star Vin Diesel. In 2006, Snow was in the film John Tucker Must Die and voiced Naminé in the video game Kingdom Hearts II as well as Shizuku in the Hayao Miyazaki film, "Whisper of the Heart." Snow most recently appeared in Hairspray, a film adaptation of the Broadway musical, playing the bratty Corny Collins show queen Amber von Tussle alongside James Marsden, Nikki Blonsky, Amanda Bynes, and Zac Efron. With her role in Hairspray, Snow shows her musical side in numerous numbers including a solo entitled, "The New Girl In Town", a song previously cut from the Broadway musical version. She will soon be seen in the horror film "Prom Night," a remake of the hit horror film of the same name, starring Jamie Lee Curtis. Snow will be playing the lead role, who is traumatized (along with her friends) by a deranged killer on her school's prom night.
