Sara Ramirez is a Mexican-born actress, singer, performer, and activist, most widely known for her role as Dr. Callie Torres on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, and as The Lady of the Lake in the musical Spamalot. Having struggled at the start of her career to land roles as a Latina actress, Sara is proud to portray a bisexual doctor of color on television, and has become an outspoken activist for immigration and LGBT issues.
She sat down with Jeff Yang for this “Fresh on the Screen” interview, presented by NPR’s Code Switch and produced by the Vilcek Foundation, and spoke about growing up as an immigrant in southern California, her difficulty finding diverse roles, and working with Shonda Rhimes.
