In late February 2004, Nichols was cast in a starring role in a then-untitled drama pilot for the Fox Broadcasting Company (Fox). According to Variety, her character was to be “a DEA agent who goes undercover at a high school”. Todd and Glenn Kessler were developing the series, ultimately titled The Inside. The pilot they produced did not satisfy studio executives, however, and Tim Minear was brought in to create a new pilot for the series in late September 2004, replacing the Kesslers as executive producer and showrunner. The Inside was originally supposed to air midseason, but the new pilot itself was reshot and the series was pushed back. The new concept made Nichols’ character a rookie FBI agent assigned to the FBI’s Los Angeles Violent Crimes Unit. The series premiered in June 2005 and critical reception was mixed; it had been scheduled opposite the popular Dancing with the Stars on ABC, and due to low ratings six of the 13 produced episodes were aired. It was not picked up for further episodes.

Rachel Nichols was born January 8, 1980 in Augusta, Maine, to Jim, a schoolteacher, and Alison Nichols. She attended Cony High School, where she competed in the high jump. Nichols said in an interview that she was not the hot chick in high school and her mother would euphemistically refer to her as “a late bloomer”, “which meant that I had uncontrollable arms and legs, I had very long appendages. I took several years of very highly structured dance classes for me to be able to control myself.”

In 2005, Nichols played a brief role in the romantic drama Shopgirl and played a more notable role as a babysitter in The Amityville Horror. For the latter, she was nominated for the Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie Scream Scene and the MTV Movie Award for Best Frightened Performance. She later revealed that she almost did not audition for the film due to her fear of dogs. “[Producer] Michael Bay has these gigantic [dogs]. […] And, when I went to audition for The Amityville Horror, I went into his offices and literally these three huge dogs were there, and I almost turned around. I was like, ‘No, I’m not going to read for this film.’ I actually used the dogs in my audition to think of what would scare me the most.” The Amityville Horror received generally negative reception from critics, but was a commercial success.

Following The Inside, Nichols found work on the fifth season of the serial action series Alias in 2005, being cast that July. Nichols starred as Rachel Gibson, a computer expert who thought she was working for the CIA when in fact she was working for a dangerous criminal organization—a situation similar to that of the series’ main character Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner) in the first season. Discovering the truth, Gibson joins the real CIA and becomes Bristow’s protégée. Of working on Alias, Nichols said that “to say it’s the nicest set on the planet is an understatement”. Her role involved multiple fight sequences, as did Garner’s. Nichols worked with Garner’s personal trainer; she said she “already knew that [Garner’s] job was extremely hard. But I didn’t know how difficult it was until I started training for just one fight.” Nichols was being groomed to replace Garner as the main character due to the latter’s pregnancy, which had been written into the storyline. But Alias was canceled in November 2005, making its fifth season its final. “I think everybody knew that the show wouldn’t work without Jennifer”, Nichols said, “But still, they were grooming me, so it was heartbreaking when it happened.”

Nichols had done commercial work and had a bit part as a model in the romantic drama film Autumn in New York (2000) when her modeling agent helped her get a one-episode role in the fourth season of Sex and the City (2002). She later said she had “never really done a proper audition before”, and added that “I had such fun [filming on set], that day actually made me want to pursue [acting] more seriously.” Later that year she was cast in her first major film role as Jessica, a dogged student newspaper reporter, in Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd (2003). Although the film was panned by critics, making it was a learning experience for Nichols. She said, “I was a sponge for the entire time I was in Atlanta [during filming] and freely admitted that I had no idea what was going on. I had never done a big film before, I had never been the lead in a film before and any advice anyone wanted to give me, I was more than willing to take.” The following year, Nichols played a member of a high school debate team in the independent film Debating Robert Lee (2004) and had a two-episode role in the crime drama television series Line of Fire (2004), which was cancelled after 11 of 13 produced episodes were broadcast. By August 2004, she was cast in supporting roles in the horror films The Amityville Horror (2005) and The Woods (2006).

Her first starring film role was in the 2007 horror–thriller P2, as a businesswoman who becomes trapped inside a public parking garage with a deranged security guard. About the dress her character wears for much of the film, Nichols said, “When I read the script originally, it wasn’t a dress, it was a small nightgown with no bra or underwear. Then I read the first scene where she gets wet, and I went: ‘OK, this has got to be altered!’ ” Nichols said in an interview that among the rules established in her contract were: “I will not get wet and show nipples” in addition to no nudity. A bra was sewn into the “Marilyn Monroe dress” she wore in the film. She said, “I wasn’t going to run around for two months without a bra, I thought that was inappropriate. But in place of the nipples there’s clearly a lot of cleavage. So we made a compromise.” P2 was generally disliked by critics and flopped at the box office. Reviewer James Berardinelli said that her performance was “admirable, although one wonders whether she was cast more for her physical assets than her acting ability.” John Anderson of Variety wrote that “Nichols is in territory well trod over the years by everyone from Fay Wray and Grace Kelly to Heather Langenkamp, the terrified but gutsy heroine, who in this case has been chloroformed and put into a sheer white evening dress by her abductor—who must have anticipated that his captive would try to escape in an elevator, which he could then fill with water. (Nichols’ considerable physical attributes, henceforth, seem to occupy most of the screen.) She’s sympathetic, hysterical when required and likeable.”
