Sweeney made her television debut at age five in the form of a Kodak commercial. She was then featured in the episode "I Can’t Help to Saying Goodbye" of the horror series Tales from the Darkside. This episode featured the young girl who is able to sense when other people are going to die. In 1988, she appeared on the extremely short-lived ABC sitcom Family Man,[citation needed] and the following year she was played by Christy McCray on Brand New Life, a mini-series by the future X-Files creator Chris Carter that aired within NBC's Magical World of Disney in October 1989. The miniseries, which co-starred Barbara Eden as Sweeney's mother and Don Murray as her new stepfather, was considered for to be a stand-alone show beyond the initial Disney tryout but the planned show never came to fruition .On the 6th of January 1993, the then 16-year-old Sweeney first appeared in the role of Samantha "Sami" Brady on the NBC soap drama Days of Our Lifes, a show for which she was a huge fan. The society of the day held extremely negative opinions about weight in the 1990s. Sweeney was an US dress size 12 (UK dress size 16), not obese by medical standards, but larger than her television peers and it was a major issue. In her 2004 memoir All The Days of My Life (So far) she narrated every tabloid story and personal angst.
