Her cover highlights include Vogue Paris (May 1993), Elle (October 1993), and Glamour (six times). Discussing her early work in an interview given in July 2004, Moynahan said, “It was a crazy world that paid a lot of money. I liked being a model, but I knew it would never last, so I looked into acting.”
She began doing soap and shampoo commercials, in addition to taking acting and art classes. She studied acting at the Caymichael Patten Studio in New York, and in 1999, made her TV debut as Natasha in HBO’s romantic comedy Sex and the City. She later had a recurring role in the show, until the divorce of her character from Mr. Big (Chris Noth). The following year, she appeared in smaller film roles, including having parts in In the Weeds and Whipped.
Bridget Moynahan made her feature-film debut in the 2000 comedy-drama Coyote Ugly as Rachel, a bartender and dancer in a wild New York bar, a role considered her breakthrough. She accepted the role because she “thought it was interesting that the whole movie revolved around five women…and my character was so strong and independent.” The film received generally unfavorable reviews, but was a box-office success, earning $133 million worldwide.
Moynahan’s next role was a supporting role in the 2001 film Serendipity as Hally, the fiancée of John Cusack’s character. She worked opposite Ben Affleck and Morgan Freeman in the action film The Sum of All Fears, based on Tom Clancy’s book of the same name. She played Dr. Catherine Muller, a love interest for Affleck’s Jack Ryan. Dave Larsen of the Dayton Daily News reported the subplot involving Moynahan and Affleck was “the film’s weakest point”.
The film received ambivalent reviews, but was a commercial success, earning $193 million at the box office. Moynahan’s next role was as a CIA trainee in The Recruit (2003). The movie was poorly received, with Mike Clark of USA Today calling it “a less-than-middling melodrama whose subject matter and talent never click as much as its credits portend”. In 2004, Bridget Moynahan worked alongside Will Smith in Alex Proyas’ science-fiction movie I, Robot, loosely based on Isaac Asimov’s short-story collection of the same name.
She portrayed Dr. Susan Calvin, a specialist in robot psychology. The film received mixed reviews, though critics enjoyed Moynahan’s performance. Daniel Neman of Richmond Times-Dispatch disliked the film, concluding that Moynahan “turns in an able performance as Dr. Calvin, the convenient character.” With revenue of $347 million worldwide, the film remains Moynahan’s most commercially successful picture to date.
Her next movie was 2005’s Lord of War, a political crime thriller, where she played Ava Fontaine Orlov, the wife of Nicolas Cage’s character. In 2006, Maxim named Moynahan #96 on its annual “Hot 100” list. In September 2006, away from the film, Moynahan worked as Whitney Crane in the ABC television drama series Six Degrees co-starring with Jay Hernandez, Erika Christensen, Hope Davis, Dorian Missick, and Campbell Scott.
The series centered on six residents of New York City and their relationships and connections with one another, based on the idea of six degrees of separation. It debuted on September 20, 2006, and was watched by almost 13.3 million viewers. It debuted to varied reception, with David Hinckley of the New York Daily News writing, “In theory, it’s an intriguing concept for a series. But in practice, Six Degrees doesn’t work at all in drawing you in at the start.” After one season, it was canceled in May 2007.
Bridget Moynahan’s next film role was in the November 2006 thriller Unknown, about a group of individuals kidnapped and trying to escape their captors together.
