Actress Sarah Wayne Callies was born on June 1, 1977, in La Grange, Illinois, but she moved to Honolulu, Hawaii, where she graduated from Punahou High School in 1995. Sarah also graduated from Dartmouth University and received a Master in Fine Arts degree from Denver's National Theatre Conservatory. She made her first television appearance on "Queens Supreme" and had her first starring role as detective Jane Porter on the short-lived TV series "Tarzan."
