In 2002, the Mouser family moved to New York, where six-year-old Mary almost immediately landed a role as a photo double for Abigail Breslin in the sci-fi thriller "Signs", which starred Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix as the lead characters.

Mary did not fully understand what it meant to be a photo double, but she enjoyed the atmosphere on the set. She later recalled the following about her experience working on the film:
They filmed Abby when she delivered her lines or when they needed a close-up of her face. I, on the other hand, played her feet, the back of her head, or simply her hand. For me, it was like a game – everyone played their part.
Agents noticed the girl's angelic beauty, and soon Mary tried her hand at modeling. Alongside her studies in school and acting, the young girl devoted every free minute to reading. She even wrote for a time, but her desire to become a true actress was stronger.

Mouser was enchanted by Reese Witherspoon in the film "Sweet Home Alabama" and wanted to emulate her. However, the young girl herself was charming and spontaneous as a television host on the family channel Hallmark Channel.

Since Mary's family lived far from New York and Los Angeles - the two centers of film production - they had to travel a lot back and forth. Mary remembered these long (sometimes up to three days), but fun trips in the family car for the rest of her life.

However, after signing the contract, Mary, along with the other young actors - Xolo Maridueña, Tanner Buchanan, Peyton List - underwent training:
In the first season, I thought, «Oh, this is so cool. Maybe I'll enjoy doing karate.» And then, when the second season started, I was like, «Please, please, please, can I do karate?»
Before the second season, Mary also took kickboxing and Muay Thai lessons. Later she recalled: "It was a complete lifestyle change. It was a lot of work. But I think, not knowing anything about it before, I fell completely in love with karate and learned as much as I could in two months."

Later on, Mary realized that she was capable of doing more and performed about 60% of the stunts in the series without the help of stunt doubles. "The only thing they didn't let me do was jump from roof to roof in Season 4, Episode 3. That was done by my amazing stunt double Selkie Hom. But other than that, I trained a lot and did everything myself."
