In 1993, she was cast as Roanne in Phenom, a sitcom starring Judith Light. That year she also participated in the recording of Adam Sandler's comedy album They're All Gonna Laugh At You in which she played the part of the Valedictorian on the track "The Buffoon And The Valedictorian", as well as one of the daughters on the track "Oh, mom...".

In 1994, she was cast as Kes on Star Trek: Voyager. When the crew of the starship Voyager was stranded 70,000 light years from home by a being known as the Caretaker, they meet Kes who helps them rescue several crew members. She then joins the crew with her partner Neelix. Kes was an Ocampa, a species that lives for just 8 or 9 years. They have an ability to learn at great speeds, which allowed her to learn medicine quickly and become Holographic Doctor's assistant.

Lien left the series in 1997. This coincided with the casting of Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine. Lien was featured in the first two episodes of season four, with her character losing control of her mental abilities and ascending to a higher level of existence in her final episode "The Gift", sending the crew 10 years closer to home.

Following her departure from Voyager, Lien appeared in the movies American History X alongside Edward Norton and SLC Punk!, playing the wild girlfriend of Matthew Lillard's character. She also provided her voice for the character of adult Vitani in The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, and voiced Agent "L" for the first three seasons of Men in Black: The Series.

Lien was asked to return for a special episode of Star Trek: Voyager in 2000 entitled "Fury." An angry older Kes returned to Voyager and went back in time in an attempt to alter events. Lien had input to the script but has subsequently stated that she was disappointed with her performance in the episode. Despite this, she welcomed the chance to work with the cast of the show again
