Strahovski about the beginning of her acting career

Strahovski started acting at school when she played Viola in the school production of Twelfth Night.[10] She appeared in film and television roles in Australia, including a turn on satirical show Double the Fist and as Freya Lewis in the Australian drama series headLand. She has also appeared in Channel Nine's Sea Patrol.

Strahovski sent in her audition tape for the TV series Chuck while in the United States auditioning for roles in other shows, namely NBC's 2007 series Bionic Woman.[11] After running lines with Zachary Levi she was cast as Sarah Walker. Six months later, she moved to the United States.[12] Strahovski adopted the more phonetic spelling of Strahovski as her stage name in place of Strzechowski at this time,[3] at producer Josh Schwartz's behest.

Although she portrays an American in the series, she briefly spoke in a "Hollywood" Australian accent in the episode "Chuck Versus the Ex".

Strahovski appears in Mass Effect Galaxy, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3 as the voice of Miranda Lawson. She had her face scanned and animated so she could portray Lawson in Mass Effect 2.
