In 2004, Baird also started earning acting roles, such as a guest appearance on the Drew Carey Show and in the low-budget film Brain Blockers. Her breakthrough appearance in a major film was in Wedding Crashers in 2005, which she followed up with roles in Accepted and Hot Tamale.

She lent her voice to the Scarface video game as one of Tony Montana's possible girlfriends.

Baird guest-starred in episodes of Big Day where her character was known for her large breasts, The Drew Carey Show, Shark, The Loop and Two and a Half Men episode "She'll Still Be Dead At Halftime" (2009).
