Gomez's first major role was in the 1998 film "The Acid House", based on three Irvine Welsh short stories. She went on to star in the cult Channel 4 comedy drama "The Book Group" before landing her role as staff liaison officer Sue White in the Channel 4 comedy "Green Wing". She played Michelle in "Carrie and Barry" for the BBC (which coincidentally debuted the same night as "Green Wing"), and starred as PC Sally Bobbins in the BBC 2 sitcom "Feel the Force".
