Over 29 years in the industry, Anne-Moss starred in 39 movies and has a new Matrix coming up in 2022. She also added roles in 26 different TV shows and has a very successful career for someone who remains best known for one sci-fi movie trilogy. However, there is a lot more to the actress than that, with some surprising appearances many fans might not know about.

10 Matrix (1993)

While everyone knows that Carrie Anne-Moss starred in The Matrix, what those fans might not know is that she also starred in a TV show called Matrix.

Released in 1993, six years before she appeared in the movie of the same name, Anne-Moss was one of the main characters in the fantasy series about a former hitman named Steven Matrix who was killed during a job and was sent back to Earth to atone for all the murders he committed.

9 Baywatch

From 1989-1999, there might not be a more popular show than Baywatch, with David Hasselhoff becoming a major star and actresses like Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra, Erika Eleniak, and Alexandra Paul. There were also several guest star appearances throughout the years, including a 1994 appearance by Carrie Anne-Moss.

This was the season four episode "Mirror Mirror," where Anne-Moss played a pair of twin sisters, now plain and one beautiful, both vying for Mitch's attention.

8 Chocolat (2000)

Based on the novel by the same name, Chocolat is a 2000 film by director Lasse Hallstrom. The movie stars Juliette Binoche as a chocolatier who travels to a French village and opens up a chocolate shop, much to the mayor's (Alfred Molina) displeasure.

When people eat the chocolates, they start to lose their inhibitions. Carrie Anne-Moss stars as a devoutly pious woman who is one of the townspeople who disapprove of the new chocolatier in town.

7 Red Planet (2000)

In 2000 and 2001, Mards was big in Hollywood, but audiences didn't seem to care. In 2001, John Carpenter made Ghosts of Mars, and it was a box office flop. At least some movie fans remember that one. The year before, Red Planet came out, and it ended up as both a critical and box office failure.

6 Disturbia (2007)

The same year that Shia LeBeouf picked up the lead role in Michael Bay's Transformers, he also appeared in a much lower-key movie. D.J. Caruso directed a loose reimagining of the Hitchcock classic Rear Window with Disturbia.

LaBeouf ended up under house arrest after assaulting his teacher and starts to spy on a neighbor, who he thinks might be a serial killer. Carrie Anne-Moss plays his mother, who finds her life in danger when her son proves to be right.

5 Fido (2006)

In 2006, the Canadian horror-comedy Fido arrived and flew under the radar, despite being one of the smartest indie zombie movies ever made. The movie starts after the zombie apocalypse ended, and humans won.

A company known as ZomCom created collars that domesticated zombies and they were then used as servents. Carrie Anne-Moss plays Helen, a mother who buys a zombie despite her husband fearing them. When a zombie's collar malfunctions, and it starts to kill again, the entire city is thrown into turmoil.

In 2012, Carrie Anne-Moss starred in the sequel Silent Hill: Revelation. It might be easy to miss out on Moss in this movie. The film actually has some pretty big stars, with Sean Bean (a carryover from the first movie), Malcolm McDowell, and Kit Harrington, but was mostly forgettable.

As for Carrie Anne-Moss, she was under a lot of makeup as the main bad guy Claudia Wolf, the leader of the Order, a cult from Silent Hill.

2 Vegas

After The Shield went off the air, Michael Chiklis quickly moved on to a new series - a period drama called Vegas.
