Skavlan made her film début at the age of eight as Alveola in Body Troopers, after which she had several roles in commercials, including one for Gilde Norsk Kjøtt in 2002.[9] She played a friend to the character of Malin in the film Fatso, based on Lars Ramslie's novel of the same name.[10] She was featured as the character Chris in the zombie splatter filmDead Snow, which premiered in January 2009.[11] She played the character Gitte in the Swedish film Once Upon a Time in Phuket alongside Peter Magnusson and David Hellenius.[12] She appeared in Tomme Tønner in 2010 and Hjelp, vi er i filmbransjen in 2011. Promotionally, Dead Snow made much of a scene in which Skavlen's character has sex in an outhouse, while some publicity for Tomme Tønner highlighted her appearances in a bikini. After a clip from a blooper reel from Hjelp, vi er i filmbransjen featuring Skavlen's top slipping down was used on the website of the tabloid VG, Skavlan admitted to feeling a little annoyed by movie promotions focusing on scenes in which she was scantily clad.[11]
