Sarah Wayne Callies - The Guardsman
Sarah has started her run of broadway this week in 'The Guardsman'.
The actress, who played Lori Grimes for three seasons on the horror series “The Walking Dead,” was in, of all places, a Syrian refugee camp in northern Iraq, doing volunteer work for the International Rescue Committee, when her agents beckoned. “I got back to the hotel room, and there are two e-mails on my laptop,” she recalled by phone. “One is the script of ‘The Guardsman,’ and the other is about a lead in a television series.”
“On the way back to the States, there was a lot of pressure to take the TV job. It was very high-profile,” she added. “I was kind of thinking I might do it. And then I read the play and it was the play that convinced me to do it. . . .It’s the one no one is going to see, but I will come out of this a better actor. Greg Mosher is the kind of director who makes you a better actor. And at a certain point, you grow or you die.”
