The agent noted the girl on the school stage. He contacted the girl’s parents and offered to support her interest in acting.

The next film Speak (2004), an independent film adaptation of the eponymous best-selling novel by Laurie Halse Anderson, gave Kristen a chance to play a very difficult role. Unfortunately, only truncated version was shown on Showtime and Lifetime channels.
