She played Lisa Marie Turtle on the NBC sitcom Saved by the Bell (1989–1993) and was nominated for the Young Artist Award six times, winning in 1990 and 1993 for her work on the show.

[7] She appeared in a national television commercial for Universal Studios Tour at age 12, advertising its upcoming King Kong attraction.

Though photogenic, she was shy, and her mother put Voorhies' acting career on hold until she was more comfortable in front of the cameras.

In June of that same year, she landed the role of Lisa Turtle in Disney Channel's television series Good Morning, Miss Bliss[9] and appeared in thirteen episodes from 1988 to 1989.

She remained as the same character, as did Zack, Screech, and Mr. Belding, after Disney dropped the series and it was picked up and retooled by NBC and renamed Saved by the Bell.

[10] On The Bold and the Beautiful Voorhies played the role of amiable intern fashion-designer, Jasmine Malone beginning in September 1995.

She was released from her contract in November 1996 when her role required her to act in sex scenes, which the actress refused to do citing her religious beliefs as a Jehovah's Witness.

Although she only has two acting credits since 2008, and none since 2012, Voorhies' representatives cited a busy work schedule when she did not appear in a SBTB-based mini-reunion sketch on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" alongside Gosselaar, Lopez, Thiessen, and Dennis Haskins in 2015.

[21][22] On May 30, 2006, Voorhies filed a lawsuit against The National Enquirer for libel over an article that included claims published in June 2005 that she had a drug problem.
