She appeared in the Paramount release Snow Day a children’s comedy with Pam Grier, Jean Smart and Chevy Chase. Her television credits include leads in the ABC television movies Our Guys and Trapped in a Purple Haze. Sam in the WB hit show Popular was her first role as a series regular. Pope compared her character, Sam, to “a builder, or a contractor. She has all the right tools, but doesn’t know how to use them properly.” Sam doesn’t realize yet just how unique she already is. “She’s trying too hard,” continued Pope. “Her actions don’t match up to her convictions, and that’s what she still has to learn.” Carly made a best friend on the show, her co star, Leslie Bibb, who portrayed Carly’s on screen rival, Brooke McQueen. “Leslie is just like a sister to me, since I have none, I love and care for her deeply”. She is currently starring in Power Up’s new project Itty Bitty Titty Committee.

Splitting her time between Los Angeles and Vancouver, Pope is currently attending university when her filming schedule allows. She speaks Italian, Spanish and French fluently and is seeking to expand her education in literature and languages. [Wiki]
