Biography

Sarah Wayne Callies is a multi-talented actor, director, and writer who has made a significant impact in the entertainment industry. Her most recent venture is the ABC series "The Company You Keep", where she played a starring role.

In the comedy genre, Sarah appeared as Anita Dyck in the breakout series "Letterkenny", showcasing her versatility as an actress. Prior to that, she starred in the NBC series "Council Of Dads", further solidifying her reputation as a talented leading lady.

Sarah is perhaps best known for her nuanced and complex leading roles in hit television series such as the USA series "Colony", the AMC mega-hit "The Walking Dead" as Lori Grimes, and on FOX's "Prison Break" as Sara Tancredi. Her critically acclaimed performance in the NatGeo limited series "The Long Road Home", based on the Martha Raddatz book of the same name, also garnered significant attention.

As a director, Sarah has made a mark by leading the Sundance TV/CBC limited series "Unspeakable", where she also made her directorial debut. She has since directed several episodes of "The Good Doctor", the CBS hit "Fire Country", "Family Law", and most recently Netflix's "Firefly Lane".

In film, Sarah has appeared in a range of projects, including Giancarlo Esposito's "The Show" opposite Josh Duhamel and Famke Jannsen, 20th Century Fox's "The Other Side of the Door", Voltage Pictures' "Pay the Ghost" opposite Nicolas Cage, Warner Brothers' and Broken Road's geo-thriller "Into the Storm", and "Black November" opposite Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger.

Expanding her creative reach, Sarah is the creator, writer, director, and voice of the science fiction, post-apocalyptic scripted podcast "Aftershock", which released its second season in April last year through iHeart radio. She has also launched her podcast "Prison Breaking", a rewatch podcast for FOX's "Prison Break" that she co-hosts with Paul Adelstein.

As a writer, Sarah has several screenplays in development with various television and motion picture entities. Born with dual citizenship of the United States and Canada, Sarah Wayne Callies continues to be a driving force in the entertainment industry, pushing boundaries and exploring new creative avenues.
