A highlight of Amick's film career is the 1994 feature film Dream Lover, a thriller in which she co-starred with James Spader. Leeves played the eccentric, new age and forthright Daphne Moon, and she became a popular actress in this role.

In 1993, she joined the cast of the television series Frasier.

She had a recurring role in the television series Murphy Brown which provided her first period of success, playing the loud and awkward girlfriend of producer Miles Silverberg, Audrey.
