In addition to her television work, Smithers has also made notable appearances in the 2008 Australian surfing film, Newcastle, as well as the 2015 action film, Mad Max: Fury Road.
Interestingly, Smithers was initially offered the role of Max Rockatansky's wife, Jessie, in the original 1979 Mad Max film when she was just 15 years old. However, she was forced to decline the opportunity due to her parents' reluctance to allow her to travel to Adelaide for production.
