Career

After visiting her sister Katie on the set of the film Ladies Room in 1998, VanCamp became interested in acting. Are You Afraid of the Dark? She began attending acting classes on Saturday afternoons, found an agent, and after working on a few commercials, was cast in the second half of a special three-part episode of the Canadian children's horror anthology television series Are You Afraid of the Dark? In "The Silver Sight," a 17-year-old Elisha Cuthbert appeared opposite her. VanCamp's character was present in one scene but did not speak in a dialogue.

VanCamp followed this with a role as a young Jackie Bouvier in the Emmy-nominated CBS TV film Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis and a guest spot on the YTV sitcom Radio Active. In the year after, Jessica Paré's sister appeared in her first theatrical film, Lost and Delirious, where she appeared as Jessica Paré's sister and another television guest star in an episode of the short-lived medical drama series All Souls, where she played a hit-and-run survivor with spinal injury. VanCamp appeared in the miniseries Dice, directed by Rachel Talalay, and in the TV film Redeemer, directed by Graeme Clifford, which premiered in early 2002.

Sam Dolan, a series regular role on the WB's Glory Days (known in Europe as Demontown), the third TV series produced by Dawson's Creek creator Kevin Williamson, was released at age 15. The horror movie got moderately positive feedback, but it was ultimately canceled after nine episodes. Greg Berlanti, a former Dawson's Creek writer, caught VanCamp's appearance as the lead character's younger sister. Her appearance reminded him of Katie Holmes, and he "desperately wanted to work with her." He starred her in his forthcoming debut show, Everwood, as well as the WB. Ellen Campbell played Amy, Dr. Abbott's daughter, who immediately forms a friendship with Dr. Brown's son Ephram, played by Gregory Smith. A significant portion of the show was devoted to the two families, but in particular to Amy and Ephram. She earned a certain amount of praise for the role, in which her character was confronted with drugs, anxiety, and alienation from her family, as a result of the show's run, winning four Teen Choice Awards nominations and one Young Artist Awards nomination.

VanCamp appeared in a few film projects, including the thrillers No Good Deed and A Different Loyalty, as well as Rings, a horror short film that bridges the events of the Ring and The Ring Two, in which she ties directly into her appearance in the first scene of the latter film.

In the summer of 2006, VanCamp shot the post-apocalyptic horror film Carriers, which was not released until 2009. Charlotte Truex's drug-addict character Charlotte Truex is unable to recall her behavior on the night her mother was murdered, as well as the debut of her independent drama Black Irish, where she, lead actor Michael Angarano, must cope with teenage pregnancy.

When Everwood creator Greg Berlanti cast her as a regular midway into the ABC drama Brothers & Sisters, which he was showrunning, VanCamp's next big role came at the age of 20. The Walkers, a wealthy family that owns a food business, are chronicled in this series by Jon Baitz. Rebecca Harper, a young woman who played by VanCamp, has been revealed that she has a mystery child from a long-running affair.

VanCamp remained a regular on Brothers & Sisters for the first four seasons, and she returned as a guest for a few episodes in the fifth and final seasons to wrap up her character's storyline. She found time to act in Norman's independent drama in mid-2008, which earned her prizes from the San Diego Film Festival and the Breckenridge Festival of Film, her first wins to date. Norman Long, the film's main character, is played by Dan Byrd, who pretends he is dying of cancer. VanCamp appeared in Ben Hur, the Lew Wallace's most recent adaptation of Lew Wallace's 1880 book in which she played Ben-Hur's wife Esther.

VanCamp appeared in Hallmark's Beyond the Blackboard film, based on the true life of Stacey Bess, whom VanCamp plays. On April 24, 2011, CBS premiered the film. Amanda Clarke / Emily Thorne was then cast in the ABC drama Revenge, which had been given a serial order in May 2011. Revenge acknowledged her as the first television show VanCamp truly hit the ground, winning multiple Teen Choice Awards.

Sharon Carter, a prospective loyal friend of Chris Evans' titular hero and Peggy Carter's great-niece, played by Hayley Atwell, co-starred in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The film was shot from April to June 2013 and was released on April 4, 2014. VanCamp starred in Captain America: Civil War, the 2021 Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and the animated series What If...?

VanCamp appeared in the independent drama The Girl in the Book, which premiered in mid-June 2013 in New York City. The film centers on Alice, a 28-year-old assistant book editor and aspiring writer, based on a true tale. On June 17, 2013, the film's developers began a crowdfunding Kickstarter campaign to finance the film's post-production, which met its $65,000 target on July 1.

In 2016, she appeared in the French-Canadian independent drama Boundaries, also known as "Pays" in French, and it was her first bilingual role in which she spoke fluent French.

In March 2017, VanCamp was portrayed as nurse practitioner Nic Nevin, the female protagonist in the Fox medical drama The Resident's female lead, whose character and friendship with Conrad Hawkins, played by Matt Czuchry, had a complicated past and relationship. Fox ordered the pilot to return to serial in May 2017. VanCamp left The Resident in August 2021 after four seasons.
