Sarah Wayne Callies

Highest Rated: 50% Foreverland (2011)

Lowest Rated: 0% Faces in the Crowd (2011)

Birthday: Jun 1, 1977

Birthplace: La Grange, Illinois, USA

A thoughtful, willowy leading lady on television and in the occasional film, actress Sarah Wayne Callies portrayed intelligent women faced with life-changing challenges in two hit series, "Prison Break" (Fox, 2005-09) and "The Walking Dead" (AMC, 2010- ). With "Prison Break," Callies became a favorite among television viewers as a prison doctor who aids two inmates in an elaborate escape plan, while "The Walking Dead" was a bona fide pop culture phenomenon that elevated her profile considerably. Prior to either show, Callies was a guest star on popular series like "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" (NBC, 1999- ), "Numb3rs" (CBS, 2005-2010) and "House" (Fox, 2004-2012), while also managing to break into the feature world with smaller films like "The Celestine Prophecy" (2006) and "Whisper" (2007).
