Mena’s career began when she was in her teens, signing a contract with the Wilhelmina modeling agency, which soon promoted her into acting. She made her debut in the mid-1990s, appearing in such TV series as “Boy Meets World” (1995-1996), “ER” (1996), and “High Incidents” (1996-1997). She made her big screen debut in 1997 in the film “Nowhere”, alongside James Duval and Rachel True, which was soon followed by her appearance in the film “Snide And Prejudice” the same year, with actors René Auberjonois, Remy Auberjonois, Claudia Christian and Joseph Bottoms among others. By the end of the 1990s, Mena had also appeared in “Kiss The Girls” (1997), “Slums Of Beverly Hills” (1998), and she earned her breakout role of Angela Hayes in the film “American Beauty”, as well as Heather in the film “American Pie” (1999), a role which she repeated in its sequels “American Pie 2” (2001), and “American Reunion” (2012), which increased her net worth by a large degree, and her popularity as well.

By 2010, Mena had also featured in such productions as “The Mysteries Of Pittsburgh” (2008), and “Day Of The Dead” (2008), among others. Her net worth was certainly rising.
In the next decade of the 2000s, Mena’s career and net worth continued to improve, with roles in such TV series and films as “American Horror Story” (2011), “You May Not Kiss The Bride” (2011), “Chicago Fire” (2013), and most recently “South Of Hell” (2015), which also added to the overall size of her net worth.

2 | I've chosen to get the word out to women, especially young women, that tobacco is not glamorous - it's addictive and smoking takes a serious toll on your health. |
3 | A year or so ago I went through all the people in my life and asked myself: does this person inspire me, genuinely love me and support me unconditionally? I wanted nothing but positive influences in my life. |
4 | You have to surround yourself with people who love you and want the best for you. |

7 | [Talking about working with Stuart Gordon on 2007's Stuck (2007)] The greatest thing about working with Stuart is that I love what he loves - stories like this. I really enjoy the dark side, and his work is so macabre. But as a director, he's very calm, yet he has this great energy. Initially, it was tough to dissect this character, but Stuart has given me ample freedom to ask questions and experiment with my performance. |
8 | One of the things you learn being in the public eye is that you have the ability to raise awareness about serious issues, and, in the process, really help people. I've chosen to get the word out to women, especially young women, that tobacco is not glamorous - it's addictive and smoking takes a serious toll on your health. |
