Sandra Oh

Born and raised in Ottawa, Canada, Sandra started ballet lessons at the age of four and appeared in her first play THE CANADA GOOSE at the age of ten. She started working professionally at age sixteen in television, theatre and commercials. After three years at the prestigious National Theatre School of Canada, she beat out more than 1,000 other hopefuls and landed the coveted title role in the CBC telefilm THE DIARY OF EVELYN LAU based on the true story of a tortured poet who ran away from home and ended up a drug addict and prostitute on the streets of Vancouver. Her performance brought her a Gemini (Canada’s Emmy) nomination for Best Actress and the 1994 Cannes FIPA d’Or for Best Actress. Oh recently starred in and served as Executive Producer of the Netflix comedy series THE CHAIR, for which received SAG and Critic's Choice Award nominations. She also starred in and Executive Produced four seasons of BBC America's KILLING EVE.  For this series Oh won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series, a SAG Award for Female Actor in a Drama Series and a Critics Choice Award for Lead Actress in a Drama Series, along with four Emmy Award nominations for Lead Actress in a Drama Series. Sandra hosted an episode of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, for which she was nominated for an Emmy Award in the category of Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series.  Oh starred on ten seasons of the hit ABC series GREY’S ANATOMY, winning a Golden Globe Award and a SAG Award and receiving two Emmy Award nominations for her role as ‘Dr. Cristina Yang.’ Previously, Sandra starred in the enormously successful, Oscar-winning Fox Searchlight feature film SIDEWAYS, for which she won a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.  Oh won her first Genie Award (Canada’s Oscar) for her leading role in DOUBLE HAPPINESS, a bittersweet coming-of-age story about a young Chinese-Canadian woman – a performance that brought her much acclaim and secured her place as one of Canada’s rising young film stars.
