 The year 2000 became a defining year for Piper when she was cast as FBI agent Karen Sympathy in The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle. Soon after, PIper was cast as the lead in what would be a blockbuster hit, Coyote Ugly. Playing Violet Sanford aka "Jersey", the struggling songwriter who temps at a bar named Coyote Ugly would be her break-out role. Piper had to take lessions in voice, guitar, piano and bartending to prepare for the role. Despite the movie doing poorly with the critics, it was a modest box-office success, grossing $61 million in the U.S alone. Her work in the film would be recognized by MTV Movie Awards when she was nominated for Best Music Moment for her performance of "One Way or Another."
In 2001, she starred in an independent Canadian film called Lost and Delirious, playing a boarding school student who begins a relationship with her female roomate. The film didn't gain much box office buzz, but would become a favorite to lots of Perabo fans. The following year, she played the role of Genevieve Le Plouff, an exchange student from France in Slap Her.. She's French. It was shelved for 2 years with that name but later recalled as She Gets What She Wants. The film was released under it's original title in Europe.
In 2003 she was cast as the eldest sibling Nora Baker in Cheaper by the Dozen, a fun family film about 2 parents struggling to make their family of 12 children work after they decide to move away. She would later reprise the role in 2005's Cheaper by the Dozen 2.
 Perabo would later make her splash in a number of other films. In 2004 she played opposite James Purefoy and Patrick Swayze in "George and the Dragon". Lena Headey and Piper Perabo both appeared opposite eachother in The Cave and Imagine Me & You. Piper and Lena dabbled with thrillers in The Cave, playing Charlie, a explorer who unearths a mysterious creature in a hidden cave. 2005Ős Imagine Me & You took place in England, which followed Rachel (Piper's character) as she strugled with her feelings for new found friend, Luce (Lena Headey). Her most recent work to date has been Mae in Because I Said So; Bettina in Ashes and most recently, her guest appearance on hit tv show House as Honey.
With all this fame, Piper still stays grounded. She enjoys classical music and literature. Another favorite is fishing, and she often chow's down on what she catches. To this day, Lena Headey and Piper remain close friends.
