In addition, Capaldi was featured in the pilot for The Goodwin Games. Capaldi also stars in Corbin Bernsen's independent film 3 Day Test and in Dog with a Blog on Disney Channel, her series regular debut. She started her voicing career as the voice of the Little Red-Haired Girl in the 2015 film The Peanuts Movie.
In 2019, Capaldi starred in the web series Crown Lake on Brat TV as Nellie Chambers, a girl who is targeted by an unknown person at a boarding school in 1994.
