Joey Lauren Adams: Chasing Amy
Playing
Alyssa Jones in the 1997 film Chasing Amy, opposite
Ben Affleck, brought her a lot of attention for her portrayal of a lesbian who falls for a man. Director Kevin Smith wrote and directed the film based on his experiences of love with former girlfriend Adams and asked Affleck, whom he had worked with previously, to have the lead role. Adams also contributed the song
"Alive" to the soundtrack of Chasing Amy, performing it in one of the scenes of the film.
She also appeared in two other View Askew productions, Mallrats (1995) and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001), briefly reprising the role of Chasing Amy's Alyssa in the latter.
