Her film credits include Sideways and the upcoming Night Listener with Robin Williams and Toni Collette. On television, she stars as Dr. Christina Yang in the hit ABC series Grey’s Anatomy.

Carroll has been seen in Stop Kiss, Take Me Out, and 45 Seconds From Broadway. Day received a Tony Award nomination for Proof and recently starred in the Arena Stage production of The Rainmaker. Jones has appeared Off-Broadway in Richard III and Our Lady of 121st Street. Lee was seen in Tokyo Can Can 2.
