Sarah Carter

Sarah Carter is best known for playing James Woods' assistant on the hit show Shark, but there is more to love about this catty Canadian.

Sarah was born in Toronto, but raised in Winnipeg. As a youth, Carter studied ballet and did musical theatre. Some early plays include Cats and A Chorus Line. In high school, Carter was a member of the Canadien Debate Team, that traveled world wide. While on the team, Carter was deemed one of the greatest public speakers in the world. Following her high school debate days, Carter studied fine art in Switzerland for a year before returning to Canada. She was discovered by a casting director in Vancouver while she was reading a monologue that she wrote herself. Some of Carters early roles were in the movie Wishmaster 3: Beyond the Gates of Hell and on the TV show Dark Angel. In 2001, Carter scored a permanent role on the comedy show Undeclared, but the show was canceled soon after she signed on, thus relegating her to only one episode.

In 2003, Carter made her wide-spread big screen debut in Final Destination 2, unfortunately her character was killed off early in the move. Following Final Destination 2, Carter did guest work on TV shows Smallville, Boston Legal, Entourage, and Numb3rs. In 2006, Carter played Helena Douglas in the movie adaptation of the popular video game Dead or Alive. She also had a role in National Lampoon's Pledge This!, a film that showcased how low National Lampoon has fallen. Carter also began her role on the legal drama Shark in 2006. In 2009, Sarah was announced as the newest member of the cast of "CSI:NY," replacing fellow Canadian Emmanuelle Vaugier. Outside of acting, Carter enjoys normal activities like hiking, reading, and playing with her dogs, but does not enjoy going to church.
