Biography
Sara Ramírez launched her professional path as a Tony Award-winning performer on the New York stage, taking prominent Broadway parts and making occasional appearances in film and on television, all before issuing her first EP in 2011. Born in Mexico, she relocated with her family to San Diego during childhood and trained her voice at a local performing-arts academy. She later continued her education at the Juilliard School, after which she settled permanently in New York City and made her Broadway bow at twenty-three in Paul Simon’s The Capeman. Although she collected minor screen credits in You’ve Got Mail and Spider-Man as well as numerous television guest spots, her strongest notices came from the theater, where she earned her first Tony in 2005 for originating a role in Spamalot.
Once she departed that production, Ramírez returned to series television, joining the ensemble of Grey’s Anatomy in 2006 as Dr. Callie Torres. Even though the character did not call for singing, Ramírez created opportunities to display her voice, offering an a cappella rendition of “Silent Night” in season six. Two years afterward she guided the cast through the program’s inaugural musical episode, which aired in March 2011. That same month she issued the self-titled Sara Ramirez, an EP containing three original tracks and her interpretation of Brandi Carlile’s “The Story.”
