Sarah Wayne Callies: Prison Break, Fame & Playing Dr. Sara Tancredi

Sarah Wayne Callies sits down to talk about her childhood, her path into acting, and what led to her being cast as Dr. Sara Tancredi on Prison Break. She opens up about the sudden fame that came with the show, how she prepared for the role by visiting real prisons, and how filming Prison Break permanently changed her perspective on incarceration and the criminal justice system. Sarah also shares behind-the-scenes stories from set, the emotional weight of playing a character inside prison walls, and how that experience later influenced her work, including being cast on The Walking Dead.
