Her new-found fame was translated into roles on the big screen in Shanghai Noon, Charlie's Angels and other films. For Kill Bill Volume 1, Quentin Tarantino, she gave an impressive performance in the role of Japanese criminal O-Ren Ishii. In the meanwhile, she was also in lead roles in some films that failed at the box office, such as Rise: Blood Hunter. She then began to voice the characters of animated films like Kung Fu Panda or Tinker Bell. Small screen roles such as Mia Mason in Cashmere Mafia failed to produce outcomes. The role she played in the critically-acclaimed police drama Southland has helped her regain recognition as an actress of note.
