Katie Bowman (Sarah Wayne Callies) lived an idyllic life before the Arrival. Katie was a beloved wife with three children, and she owned a bar called the Yonk which was a very popular spot in their community.

After the Arrival, Katie’s life took a sharp turn for the worse. With her son missing in Santa Monica, Katie took matters into her own hands, working with Broussard and the Resistance group to subvert the occupation. Katie and the APIS team obtained information as to the whereabouts of a special VIP. They intercepted it and captured it, before being surrounded and narrowly escaping.

Sarah Wayne Callies plays Katie Bowman, a wife and mother who is faced with impossible choices in order to protect her family in the midst of an occupied Los Angeles.

An award-winning actress, Callies has made an indelible impression on audiences worldwide by portraying complex and unique characters, most notably starring as Lori Grimes on The Walking Dead and will be seen again as Dr. Sara Trancedi on the renewed Prison Break.

Callies can be seen opposite Nicolas Cage in the feature film Pay the Ghost, directed by Uli Edel, and The Other Side of the Door, written and directed by Johannes Roberts. Other credits include Into the Storm, directed by Steven Quale, and Black November, directed by Jeta Amata.

In the film Whisper, Callies worked opposite Joel Edgerton, and in Benoit Phillipon’s Lullaby for Pi, she acted opposite Rupert Friend and also composed and performed an original song for the film. In 2013, Callies returned to her stage roots, starring in the Kennedy Center's production of The Guardsman in a new translation by Richard Nelson and directed by Gregory Mosher.

In 2010, Callies was named International Rescue Committee’s first ‘IRC Voice’ for her humanitarian work on the ground and at camps in Iraq, Jordan and Thailand. She has since continued her support traveling to Serbia and will make another trip in 2017.

Raised in Honolulu, Callies attended Dartmouth College and obtained a Master of Fine Arts from Denver’s National Theater Conservatory. She lives with her family in British Columbia, Canada.
