Birth Name:
Sara Ramirez
Sara Ramirez, born August 31 1976, was born in Mazatlan, Sinaloa, a popular beach resort in Mexico. After Sara turned 8, she moved away from Mexico to San Diego because her parents divorced.



Her education into acting was good. She attended Juilliard School in which she was taught to be an actress and an alto singer. This came at a good time when she realized how gifted she was as an actress, particularly on Broadway.



Sara has been blessed with many roles on Broadway. She has starred in The Capeman, Fascinating Rhythm,







More A Act, The Vagina Monologues but it was Monty Python's Spamalot that made her a recognized Broadway actress. Originating The Lady Of The Lake, Sara won many awards for her role in Spamalot and it even won her a part in Grey's Anatomy.



In 2006, Sara graced our TV screens as Dr. Calliope "Callie" Torres, a tough orthopedic surgeon on ABC's hit show Grey's Anatomy. As revealed in a special Grey's Anatomy-themed episode of The Oprah Winfery Show, ABC were so happy with her work in Spamalot, they offered her the chance to choose any of their shows to star in. Subsequently, she chose Grey's and was the second actor (behind Kate Walsh) to be offered a permanent role after only initially signing on for a recurring role. She has also had many guest spots on TV shows like Law & Order: SVU, As The World Turns, Spin City and many other shows including two pilots that didn't get the 'greenlight' to continue.



She has also starred in many movies but never had a main role. She has starred in You've Got Mail, Spiderman, Washington Heights and many others.

  • Welcome To The Sara Ramirez Forum! Also, what is acceptable on these forums!

    WELCOME. I expressed my full welcomes in the blog so I can move on from that. I'm just here to say what I find acceptable on these boards. Sorry I have to do all this crappy stuff but someone has to (preferebly the editor): Swearing isn't tolerated. Censoring is. You can censor a word howeverMore you want. I don't care about words like bloody or crap but we won't go into the "bad" ones or I'll be moderated. Sorry but off-topic posting is illegal. Every post on here has to have something to do with her or a project she's doing/done. I, unlike other editors and TV.com staff, let unlimited games on this forum. Your only really allowed to have two games on each forum but not many people stick to that. Again, it has to be in context with Sara. Not that anyone coming on here will look at this (and care about this) but no flaming! No duplicate threads. I'll lock duplicates. Sorry, I had to be a bit of a drag then but as I said someone has to lay down the rules. Submission rules are in the blog. So, my final words are "Good Luck and Enjoy". Arriverderci And another rule, you must like Sara!

    As an actress and a person, I am totally impressed w/ Sara Ramirez. hide show

    Not only is she a fantastic acress on "Grey's Anatomy", she is a Tony award-winning singer and seems like an overall sweet and amazing person. As an actress she plays dramatic scenes beautifully, but I have to admit that I prefer the more playful side of Sara that is allowed to sneek through in her character of Calli, but is given full reign in "Spamalot". In the interviews I have seen of Sara, she seems like a very kind and good-spirited human being. All this on top of the fact that she is very open to being an activist for equality for all. I have to say that I look forward to continuing to watch whatever projects she decides to be a part of.

    Callie rocks ! hide show

    Omg , I just love Callie ! She's my favourite character on the show ! She's beautiful and smart and really funny ! The scene when she's dancing in her underwear was soo funny!She always said that the directors didn't have problems with the fact that she's not skinny like meredith and the other girls , and thats a good thing because she's a real woman , with curves. I always thought that she would end up with Mark Sloan , they are just so funny together ! Friends with benefits :P It was a real shocker when she kissed Erica !! Omggg , But I have no problem with her being gay She's just so great with everybody ! ..

    She has talent and a great addition to the cast hide show

    She has great facial expressions. Her personality on the show is not annoying like Izzy. She is unfortunately under used in the show. I think she could really beef up some of the story lines. I wish her and George would try and work it out but typical blond in the way. When did this show become like every other show. The creator Shondra is just grasping and replaying what is out there. Use the cast you have and make a better story line with humor and tears and the range of emotions that has you talking about after the show is over not another soap opera. Geesh!

    Sara Ramirez currently plays Callie Torres on Grey's Anatomy and has previously appeared in Spiderman and You've Got Mail. hide show

    I first knew of Sara Ramirez from her Tony award winning portrayal of the Lady of the Lake in Monty Python's Spamalot. She was so excellent in it with a great voice and amazing comic timing that I became an instant fan. When I first heard about her appearing on Grey's Anatomy I was very excited one of my favourite actresses appearing in one of my favourite shows. I was not dissapointed, Sara's Callie Torres has quickly become one of my favourite characters on tv period. She is an actress with many different colours of emotion and creativity. Sara also is a wonderful comic release from the intense drama in Grey's Anatomy and I look forward to her storylines each week. I will continue to watch anything that she is in, in the future as well and I am sure that this is only the beginning of a very successful career.
