Alba had expressed interest in acting since the age of five. She took
her first acting class at age twelve, and an acting agent signed her
nine months later.[18][6]
Her first appearance on film was a small role in the 1994 feature Camp
Nowhere as Gail. She was originally hired for two weeks but her role
turned into a two-month job in a leading role when one of the
prominent actresses dropped out.[5]
Alba appeared in two national television commercials for Nintendo and
J.C. Penney as a child. She was later featured in several independent
films. She branched out into television in 1994 with a recurring role
as the vain Jessica in three episodes of the Nickelodeon comedy series
The Secret World of Alex Mack.[6] She then performed the role of Maya
in the first two seasons of the television series Flipper.[5][6] Under
the tutelage of her lifeguard mother, Alba learned to swim before she
could walk, and she was a PADI-certified scuba diver, skills which
were put to use on the show, which was filmed in Australia.[19][6]
In 1998, she appeared as Melissa Hauer in a first-season episode of
the Steven Bochco crime-drama Brooklyn South, as Leanne in two
episodes of Beverly Hills 90210 and as Layla in an episode of The Love
Boat: The Next Wave. In 1999, she appeared in the Randy Quaid comedy
feature P.U.N.K.S..[5] After Alba graduated from high school, she
studied acting with William H. Macy and his wife, Felicity Huffman, at
the Atlantic Theater Company, which was developed by Macy and Pulitzer
Prize-winning playwright and film director, David Mamet.[17][20]
Alba rose to greater prominence in Hollywood in 1999 after appearing
as a member of a snobby high school clique in the Drew Barrymore
romantic comedy Never Been Kissed, and as the female lead in the 1999
comedy-horror film Idle Hands, opposite Devon Sawa.[8]
