In 1993 Adams Landed Her First Major Film Role As Simone In
In 1993, Adams landed her first major film role as Simone in Richard Linklater’s Dazed and Confused. Adams played the role of Monique, girlfriend to Bud Macintosh (Pauly Shore). Adams’ performance in Chasing Amy earned her both the 1997 Chicago Film Critics Award and Las Vegas Film Critics Society Award for Most Promising Actress, and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress-Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. However, she would later make brief appearances in two other Smith projects: the 2001 film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and the 2004 animated short Clerks: The Lost Scene, featured on the Clerks X DVD. But Chasing Amy I almost didn’t get.
