Career

Charpentier began her acting career as a three-year-old appearing in a Hasbro commercial after being offered to audition.[citation needed] Charpentier followed this up with more toy commercials, including one for Mattel’s Barbie doll line, and then with several guest appearances and bit parts in TV shows, most notably in Supernatural (2005) as Tess McAnn, a girl who serves as key witness to a case Sam and Dean are investigating. She is often associated with Amanda Seyfried and has played the younger version of the actress' character twice, once in Jennifer's Body (2009) and again in Red Riding Hood (2011). Charpentier appeared in Resident Evil: Retribution (2012) as the Red Queen and in Mama (2013) as Victoria. This started a long-time collaboration with Argentinian filmmaker Andrés Muschietti, and would work with him again in the film It (2017) and its sequel It Chapter Two (2019) as Gretta Keene.

One of Charpentier’s more memorable television roles would be as Chrystal in Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever (2014), a Holiday special featuring the on-screen debut of internet sensation and meme Grumpy Cat, where the titular cat, pessimistic and cynical, forms an unlikely bond with the optimistic and cheery Chrystal.

She was nominated for Best Newcomer at the UBCP/ACTRA Awards for her role in Mama.
