Fisher was offered the role of ‘Shannon Reed’ in the Australian television soap opera ‘Home and Away’. She was part of the show between 1994 and 1997, appearing in a total of 345 episodes.

In the next two years, Fisher played some supporting roles in films like ‘The Wannabes’ (as ‘Kirsty’) in 2003; Scott Caan directorial ‘Dallas 362,’ also in 2003; and the 2004 comedy drama movie ‘I Heart Huckabees’.
In 2005, Fisher was offered the role of a seemingly sexually aggressive daughter of a politician in ‘Wedding Crashers.’ Her character, ‘Gloria Cleary’, falls in love with the wedding crasher, Vince Vaughn’s character ‘Jeremy Grey’. The film was a commercial success and Fisher’s role added a certain charm to the script. She earned two nominations at the Teen Choice Awards and won the Breakthrough Performance Award at the MTV Movie Awards for her performance in the film.
Fisher continued to receive offers from Hollywood producers and appeared in the film ‘London’, an independent drama, featuring Chris Evans, Jason Statham and Jessica Biel. She also appeared in the 2006 romantic film ‘Wedding Daze’, playing the character of a waitress who keeps falling for grieving young men.
In 2007, she appeared alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the crime thriller ‘The Lookout’. Her character ‘Luvlee’ was used as a ‘honeytrap’ by a gang leader. She also appeared in films like ‘Hot Rod’ and ‘Definitely, Maybe’; in the latter, she appeared alongside Ryan Reynolds, Elizabeth Banks, and Rachel Weisz.
Fisher was offered the chance to voice the character of ‘Dr. Mary Lou Larue’ in ‘Horton Hears a Who!’ in 2008, an animated adventure comedy film.
