She appeared in several made-for-television films from 1994 and onwards, also playing an occasional role in the television series ''American Gothic''. In early 1997, Wood's parents separated and later divorced, and Wood moved with her mother to her mother's native Los Angeles, where Wood was cast in the supporting role of ''Jessie Sammler'' on the television show ''Once and Again''. Wood's first major screen role was in the low-budget 1998 film, ''Digging to China'', which also starred Kevin Bacon and Mary Stuart Masterson. Wood remembers the role as initially being "hard", but notes that it eventually led to her decision that acting is something she "might never want to stop doing."

In January 2007, reports emerged romantically linking Wood to shock rock star [[Marilyn Manson]] before he made public his estrangement from his wife, [[Dita Von Teese]]. Wood was allegedly a factor in the demise of their relationship according to Von Teese, who stated she was not supportive of Manson's lifestyle whereas Wood was. Two portraits of Wood, painted by Manson, were part of the inagural exhibition at [[The Celebritarian Corporation Gallery of Fine Art]]. Manson subsequently confirmed that the two were together in a BBC Radio 1 interview with presenter Zane Lowe. Wood inspired much of Manson's [[Eat Me, Drink Me]] album including the lead single "[[Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand)]]". Later in 2007 Wood appeared with Manson in the music video, "Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand)", having simulated sex with him in the video. Manson dedicated the album to Wood.

Wood has nine tattoos, two of which relate to Manson. On Feburary 14, 2007 she also had a black heart with a lightning bolt at the centre inked on her upper left thigh, in tribute to [[David Bowie]]. The lightning bolt referring to Bowie's ''Alladin Sane'' album, which portrays Bowie as Aladdin Sane, with the well-known and famous "bolt" make up design across his face. The bolt is sometimes mistaken as a Marilyn Manson related tattoo due to the similarity of it to the shock logo that was first used in Mansons sophomore album, ''Antichrist Superstar''. The music video for [[Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand)]] also uses this similarity in symbols to allow it to seem like it was actually a Manson themed tattoo. This was the same session in which Manson had his spiral heart tattoo done. Her first actual Manson-related tattoo, dating from around January 2009, is of a 15 behind her left ear matching Manson's. After the two became engaged in 2010, Evan got another tattoo related to Manson, of a heart intertwined with an infinity symbol, behind her right ear.

Her other tattoos are a 'j' on her left ankle for former (and current) boyfriend Jamie Bell; the Edgar Allan Poe quote, "All that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream" across her upper back; a candle based on a design by Shel Silverstein, on her lower back; the word "unless" underneath her left breast; and one on the inside of her lower lip, of a word she has yet to disclose. She formerly had a Beatles themed tattoo of a strawberry on her right ankle, but this tattoo was covered up with a black diamond, in reference to both Pink Floyd and her own nickname of "Crazy Diamond".
