Harmon began acting in 1995, starring in several television series, including Baywatch Nights, Baywatch and C-16: FBI; she also appeared in the 1998 film, Lawn Dogs, which received only a limited theatrical release. In the early 2000s, Harmon became better known after playing Abbie Carmichael on the series Law & Order, a role she played from 1998 to 2001. During this time, she also voiced Commissioner Barbara Gordon in the animated film, Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, replacing Stockard Channing, as well as appearing on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
Harmon left Law & Order to concentrate on her film career, saying that she preferred working in film than television.[1] After appearing in the 2001 direct-to-video film, Good Advice, she had a major role in Agent Cody Banks, playing the CIA handler of a teenage agent (Frankie Muniz). The film opened in March 2003 and became a minor hit, grossing $47 million.[2] Although Harmon was originally scheduled to appear in the sequel, the producers chose to take a more comedic approach, and replaced Harmon with comic actor Anthony Anderson as Banks's handler.[3] In 2006, Harmon co-starred with Cuba Gooding Jr. and James Woods in the direct-to-DVD political suspense drama End Game.
In 2006, Angie starred as the lead in the ABC pilot Secrets of a Small Town. Despite testing highly with focus groups, the pilot was not picked up by ABC due to its high budget. In 2007, Angie starred in another ABC pilot, Women's Murder Club, which unlike Secrets Of A Small Town, was picked up by ABC.
