After completing her studies, she enrolled at the Neighborhood Playhouse Theater School in New York.

Early Career

After graduating, she appeared in multiple off-Broadway productions, before being cast in the hit independent film, "The Brothers McMullen" in 1995. She relocated to Los Angeles, where she began appearing in guest-starring, recurring, or regular roles in such television programs as "Ellen", "The Fugitive", and "West Wing". In 1996, she began co-starring as Nikki Faber on the ABC comedy "Spin City" opposite Michael J. Fox. Her character was eventually written out of the show. She then began appearing in films such as 1998's "No Looking Back" and "The Next Big Thing." In 2001, Britton played Shirley Temple's unfavorable mother, Gertrude Temple, in the ABC TV movie "Child Star: The Shirley Temple Story." In 2002, she returned to ABC and starred in the short-lived sitcom "Lost at Home." Britton had a recurring role in the Fox thriller "24" in season five.

Friday Night Lights

Connie's big break came in 2006 when she was cast as Tami Taylor opposite Kyle Chandler's Coach Eric Taylor in the NBC drama series "Friday Night Lights." She had appeared in the film version of the series in 2004 opposite Billy Bob Thornton, but had so few lines and was so faded in the background that she was at first very hesitant to appear in the TV show without affirmation that she would have a much meatier role and wouldn't just be "the coach's wife." The showrunner Peter Berg assured her as much and, with that, Britton and Chandler set off on a road trip from California to Austin, Texas, where filming was set to begin, for the purpose of bonding and developing their on-screen chemistry.

Peter Berg commented that the situation had originally made him nervous:

"Connie and Kyle developed a very flirtatious, precocious relationship right off the bat. And Kyle, of course, is married. I was convinced they would be having some torrid affair by the time they reached Sante Fe and Kyle's marriage would be over by the time they got to Austin."
