8. Her First TV Role

Like many of the top US actors and actresses on the scene right now, Sarah Wayne Callies went through an apparent rite of passage for TV personalities by appearing on Law & Order in 2003. She starred as Jenny Rochester, a former call girl, during Season 4 Episode 17 Privilege, while Walking Dead co-stars Norman Reedus (Daryl), Lauren Cohan (Maggie), Emily Kinney (Beth) and Chad Coleman (Tyreese) have all featured in the cult show during its run. Callies also landed smaller roles in Dragnet and Queens Supreme, before her biggest break came playing Jane in The WB's short-lived drama, Tarzan. It proved enough to catch the eye of the Prison Break creators, where her career took off.
