Bright's first acting job was in a commercial for Telus, which was soon followed by a guest appearance on the television series, Higher Ground. He subsequently appeared in several minor roles in made-for-television films, and was credited as "Cameron Crigger" for his early roles (from the 2000 television movie, The Christmas Secret, to an episode of Night Visions).<br/><br/>

After a supporting part in The Butterfly Effect, Bright's first major role was in Godsend, a horror film co-starring Robe... ...

In his next film, Birth, he played a ten-year old boy who claims to be the reincarnation of a woman's (Nicole Kidman) deceased husband. Two scenes within the movie sparked controversy and drew media attention to Bright. In one scene, Bright and Kidman's characters kiss; in the other, the two share a bathtub. The actors wore flesh colored swimsuits in the bath scenes and were never really naked. He was involved in a similar controversy in 2006 on the television program Stargate SG-1 when he played the character Orlin in a younger body that had previously been romantically involved with Amanda Tapping's character.<br/><br/>

Bright was the second choice to play Klaus Baudelaire in the film Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. He was instead cast in several Hollywood films, all of which were released in 2006, including Thank You for Smoking, Ultraviolet, the action-thriller named Running Scared (starring Paul Walker) and most recently in X-Men: The Last Stand, where he played the mutant Leech. Bright also played Orlin in The Fourth Horseman episode of the television series Stargate SG-1.
