Modeling

Acting

In the same year, she guest-starred on ''Without a Trace'', '' CSI: Miami'', '' CSI: NY'', and ''One Tree Hill''.

In 2006, List was a series regular on the NBC drama '' Windfall'', as Tally Reida. The series was canceled after one season, and List had a recurring role on the short-lived ABC drama '' Day Break''. During the 2007 pilot season, List was cast in another ABC series, '' Big Shots'', in which she played the role of Cameron Collinsworth, daughter of Dylan McDermott's character. The series also was canceled after one season.

Namefellow

List shares the exact same name as a fellow actress, Peyton List (born 1998). The younger List was interviewed by ''Access Hollywood'', saying she uses Peyton R. List to avoid confusion. Union SAG-AFTRA's policy avoids actors with the same name; this instance went unnoticed. They appeared in the same scene—when the older List starred on ''As the World Turns'' as Lucy Montgomery. Years later, the younger List cited confusion when they stayed at the same hotel—they received daily call sheets and voicemails for each other. ''IndieWire'' noted the confusion appeared on the website Wikipedia, where both actresses's articles started out with exactly the same introduction text of: "Peyton List is an American actress and model." Both actresses provided voice performances for ''Batman: Hush'' (2019).
