As Dr. Miranda Bailey on Grey’s Anatomy, she gets results from her team. Period. In real life, Chandra Wilson just gets results…

For her Grey’s role, Chandra earned one Peoples’ Choice Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards and three NAACP Image Awards. She is also a five-time Emmy nominee and a BET Award nominee.

A Houston, Texas, native, Chandra began performing in musicals at the age of five. By the time the spring of 2004 rolled around, she was selected by The New York Times as one of “8 to Watch, Onstage and Behind the Scenes.” This honor came in conjunction with the Broadway opening of Caroline, or Change, in which she portrayed Dotty Moffett opposite the formidable Tonya Pinkins.

Her greatest New York stage accomplishment thus far is her portrayal of Bonna Willis in the production of The Good Times are Killing Me, which won her a Theatre World Award for Outstanding Debut Performance.

She was also in the Broadway productions of Avenue Q and On the Town. Other stage credits include, The Miracle Worker, Paper Moon: The Musical, The Family of Mann, Believing and Little Shop of Horrors. She returned to Broadway for a successful run as Mama Morton in Chicago.

Chandra recently starred in Accidental Friendship for the Hallmark Channel. Other TV credits include a series regular role on ABC’s Bob Patterson, along with numerous guest appearances on The Sopranos, Law & Order, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Sex and the City, Third Watch, 100 Centre Street, Cosby and The Cosby Show. She has also had recurring roles on One Life to Live and Queens Supreme.

On the big screen she’s had supporting roles in the films Lone Star, directed by John Sayles, and Philadelphia, directed by Jonathan Demme. Next, she joins Halle Berry in the film Frankie and Alice.
