GUEST BIOGRAPHIES:

Camilla Luddington

Currently starring on ABC’s hit medical drama series Grey’s Anatomy, Camilla Luddington has the gift of portraying characters with both strength and vulnerability, and her Dr. Jo Wilson displays plenty of both as she finds her way through complicated storylines of love and career.

The sci-fi/fantasy world has come to love her too for her embodiment of Lara Croft, a different kind of heroine, in the video game Tomb Raider. When the game was released in 2013,

critics praised Luddington for giving the classic icon a much-needed reboot. In 2015, Camilla reprised her role as Lara in the video game Rise of the Tomb Raider, and continued her work as this character in the anticipated video game Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

Californication, she portrayed Lizzie, the seemingly sweet English nanny who would do whatever it took to make it in L.A.


Jessica Capshaw

Jessica Capshaw is best known for her role as “Dr. Arizona Robbins” in the long-running TV series Grey's Anatomy.

Capshaw can most recently be seen opposite Grace Van Patten in the hit Hulu series

“Tell me Lies,” which is based on the best-selling novel by Carola. 

Capshaw earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature at  Brown University. In addition to this, she also attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts during her summer breaks, where she starred as “Puck” in a production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

Capshaw is based in New York.
