Woods and her mother then moved to Los Angeles in 1996 where she was cast for one season on the TV drama "Profiler." Her big break came with the role of Jessie Sammler on the ABC drama series "Once and Again," which starred Sela Ward and Billy Campbell. Her film career has included roles in "Practical Magic," "Little Secrets," "The Missing," "The Upside of Anger," "Running with Scissors," "Across the Universe," "The Wrestler," "Whatever Works," and "The Conspirator." Her biggest film success was "Thirteen" co-starring Holly Hunter with critical raves and nominations at the Golden Globe Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards.
