9 of Sandra Oh's Most Memorable Movie and TV Roles

Intelligence agent Eve may not have gadgets or martinis like James Bond, but she brings her own X factor to tracking down the elusive assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer). This critically acclaimed BBC America series showcases Oh's talent for striking the perfect comedic and dramatic balance.

Getting tapped for a guest role on Sesame Street is the ultimate sign you've made it. Oh appeared in a 2011 episode as the Fairy Cookie Person who gives Cookie Monster the "cookie touch" power to help satisfy his endless craving.

We can thank Mina Shum for getting Oh on our radar. Shum wrote and directed this drama about a Chinese-Canadian woman who dreams of being an actress while dealing with pressure from her traditional family. The role won Oh a Best Actress Genie award.

This 1998 apocalyptic drama-comedy nabbed Oh another Genie award. It's a must-see for anyone looking to do a deep dive.

Anything featuring Oh being sassy and a lot of wine is an easy sell. Alexander Payne's 2004 dark comedy scored Oh a SAG award for her performance as Stephanie, the winery employee who catches Jack's (Thomas Haden Church) eye—even though he's engaged.

Onur Tukel's dark comedy about former college friends isn't everyone's cup of tea, but Oh's toxic chemistry with Anne Heche is undeniable. The on-screen feuding gets bloody, making the film compelling in a Alexis and Krystle Carrington kind of way.

Blunt, passionate, and loyal Cristina Yang is one of the most beloved TV characters of all time, and the role won Oh a Golden Globe as well as scoring her several Emmy nominations. She's still sorely missed on Grey's, which she left in 2014.

Sandra worked with her Grey's colleague Kate Walsh and Diane Lane in this 2003 hit. Oh plays Patti, the BFF to Lane's Frances; she's the one who sends the heartbroken Frances on her Italian adventure.
