A tall brunette with a made-for-beachwear body, she was named one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People" in 1999, and continued making movies between seasons of 7th Heaven. After a slow start with The Rules of Attraction (2002) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), Biel landed higher profile roles in Blade: Trinity (2004, starring Wesley Snipes), Stealth (2005, with Jamie Foxx), Elizabethtown (2005, with Kirsten Dunst and The Illusionist (2006, with Paul Giamatti).
She played Adam Sandler's unwitting love interest in the 2007 comedy I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.
