Melissa George has scored a role in the top-rating medical drama Grey’s Anatomy, playing a bisexual surgical intern, Sadie. Her character is the potential love interest for lesbian medic Callie Torres, played by Sara Ramirez.
…after the action series, Alias, was cancelled in 2005, George, 32, is thrilled to have a regular gig.
For almost a decade George was well known as the Australian actress who couldn’t get a break in Hollywood, filming a series of pilot’s which never eventuated. Thankfully her small role in the hit sitcom Friends, as a lesbian nanny, gained her notable attention from casting directors.
“(Grey’s Anatomy) is such a big break for me,” George told The Sun-Herald. “I played a lesbian nanny in Friends so I’m very comfortable with it.”
She also has a film role in the works, ‘Triangle’, a thriller that revolves around passengers of a yachting trip in the Atlantic Ocean who, when struck by mysterious weather conditions, jump to another ship only to experience greater havoc on the open seas, with former McLeod’s Daughters star Rachael Carpani and American actress Holly Marie Combs.
