In
2000, she appeared in In the Weeds, Whipped and Coyote Ugly, where
she played the role of a barmaid that has an attitude. She was a good
actress and after Serendipity in 2001, bigger movies were offered to
this model-actress. Alongside with Ben Affleck, she starred in The Sum
of All Fears in 2002. She also landed a bigger role in The Recruit in
2003. A year after, she was seen on the Sci-fi I, Robot alongside with

In September 2006, away from film, Moynahan starred as Whitney Crane in
the ABC television drama series Six Degrees, co-starring alongside Jay
Hernandez, Erika Christensen, Hope Davis, Dorian Missick, and Campbell
Scott. The series centered around six residents of New York City and
their respective relationships and connections with one another, based
on the idea of six degrees of separation. It debuted on September 20,
2006, and was watched by almost 13.3 million viewers. Six Degrees
debuted to varied reception, with David Hinckley of the New York Daily
News writing, “In theory, it’s an intriguing
concept for a
series. But in practice, Six Degrees doesn’t work at all in
drawing you in at the start.” The series was canceled after
one
season in May 2007.
Moynahan’s next film role was in the
November 2006 thriller
Unknown, about a group of individuals kidnapped, and trying to work

Angeles, alongside Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez, and Michael
