I te tau 1992, i tautohe a Alba 11-tau-tau ki tona whaea kia kawe ia ia ki tetahi whakataetae mahi i Beverly Hills, i reira ko te utu nui ko nga akoranga mahi koreutu. I wikitoria a Alba i te utu nui, a, i ako i ana akoranga mahi tuatahi. E iwa marama i muri mai ka hainatia e tētahi kaihoko a Alba. Ko tana putanga tuatahi i runga i te kiriata he mahi iti i roto i te whakaaturanga 1994 Camp Nowhere hei Gail. I whakawhiwhia ia mo nga wiki e rua engari ko tana mahi i huri hei mahi mo nga marama e rua i te wa i wehe atu ai tetahi o nga kaiwhakaari rongonui. I puta a Alba i roto i nga panui pouaka whakaata a motu e rua mo Nintendo me J. C. Penney i a ia e tamariki ana. I muri mai ka whakaatuhia ia i roto i etahi kiriata motuhake. I uru ia ki te pouaka whakaata i te tau 1994 me te mahi a te Jessica i roto i nga waahanga e toru o te raupapa pakiwaitara a Nickelodeon The Secret World of Alex Mack. I muri mai ka mahi ia i te mahi a Maya i nga wa tuatahi e rua o te raupapa pouaka whakaata a Flipper. I raro i te whakaakoranga o tana whaea kaitiaki, i ako a Alba ki te kaukau i mua i tana hikoi, he kaihopu kaukau PADI-tiwhikete ia, nga pukenga i whakamahia i runga i te whakaaturanga, i kiriatahia i Ahitereiria. I te 1998, i puta ia hei Melissa Hauer i roto i te waahanga tuatahi o te Steven Bochco crime-drama Brooklyn South, hei Leanne i roto i nga waahanga e rua o Beverly Hills, 90210, me Layla i roto i tetahi waahanga o Love Boat: The Next Wave.

Macy me tana wahine, a Felicity Huffman, i te Atlantic Theater Company, i whakawhanakehia e Macy me te kaiwhakaari toa Pulitzer me te kaiwhakahaere kiriata, a David Mamet. I piki ake a Alba ki te rongonui i Hollywood i te tau 1999 i muri i tana putanga hei mema o te roopu kura tuarua snobby e whakamamae ana i tetahi etita kape kore i roto i te komihana whakaipoipo Never Been Kissed, i te taha o Drew Barrymore, me te wahine rangatira i roto i te kiriata whakamataku whakaari-iti, Idle Hands, i te taha o Devon Sawa.
