Sandra Oh (born July 20, 1971 in Nepean, Ontario, Canada) is an acclaimed Korean-Canadian actress celebrated for her versatility and powerful, boundary-pushing performances. She first garnered attention in Canada with her breakout role as Jade Li in the festival‑favorite Double Happiness (1994), earning critical acclaim early in her career . Internationally, Oh became a household name portraying the brilliant and driven Dr. Cristina Yang on Grey’s Anatomy (2005–2014), a role that earned her Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe win. Following that, she captivated audiences as MI5 agent Eve Polastri in Killing Eve (2018–2022), making history as the first Asian actress nominated for an Emmy in a lead actress drama category. Beyond her iconic TV roles, Sandra has used her platform to champion representation and share nuanced Asian and Asian-American stories.
