She has a brother, Jack, and grew up in Seattle, Washington.










Her
parents encouraged her to pursue acting when she was young and she gave
her first professional acting performance at age nine at the Seattle
Repertory Theater.










After attending Edmonds Woodway High School, she studied English literature at the University of Washington.










Her first significant film role was in the independent production Lovers Lane (1999).











Her breakout role was the horror film parody Scary Movie (2000). The 5'5" Faris is a natural blonde,











but 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 equivalent character in Scream, one of the films that Scary Movie parodied.











Faris gained further popularity after becoming recurring character Erica in the final season of the popular American sitcom Friends.











She also was in the critically acclaimed film Lost in Translation—in which she plays an actress promoting the fictional action movie Midnight Velocity.
