After earning her master's in fine arts at Denver's National Theatre Conservatory, this Hawaii-bred beauty moved to New York and quickly landed a recurring role on the short-lived courtroom drama
Queens Supreme in 2003. That same year she got her second shot at series television as a no-nonsense NYPD officer on the offbeat drama
Tarzan, but it, too, was promptly canceled. Three times was the charm for Callies, who landed a plum part as a doctor on the breakout hit
Prison Break in 2005.
