Sarah Wayne Callies Detailed Biography
|
|
Starring in her first leading role on television, Sarah Wayne Callies plays Jane, the level-headed detective whose world is turned upside-down by the mysterious Tarzan.
Raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, Callies is the daughter of two university professors. She placed a strong emphasis on education and balanced her schoolwork with her passion for the stage. In high school, she landed her first lead in a production of Shakespeare's As You Like It. After graduating from the Ivy League's Dartmouth College with an undergraduate emphasis in Feminist Studies and a Senior Fellowship in Indigenous Theology, she attended Denver's National Theatre Conservatory to pursue her love of acting and to complete her Masters of Fine Arts degree. Once finished with school, Callies moved to New York City and secured her first acting job on camera, a role opposite Oliver Platt in Queens Supreme. She has since appeared on Law and Order: SVU and Dragnet. During this time, she was also chosen as one of the new faces of L'Oréal, and has been featured in an advertising campaign for the company. Callies will divide her time between New York City and Toronto. Still a Hawaiian at heart, she speaks basic Hawaiian and enjoys traditional Hawaiian music. Callies also likes dancing the Argentine tango and has taken up low-flying trapeze. When not working, she spends as much time as possible at home with her husband, playing chess and cooking. They also like to get outdoors and backpack. They have a cat and plan to welcome a puppy to their new home in Toronto.
