My Take

Sarah Drew earned a lot of goodwill from Grey's Anatomy fans because April Kepner grew from an easy-to-dismiss side character into one of the show's most emotionally complex figures. Drew played April's crises of faith and that devastating storyline around her pregnancy with real conviction, and her exit was one of the more talked-about departures in the show's run. I appreciate that she leaned into projects that reflect her own values rather than chasing whatever's trendy, including faith-based films. She has a warmth and earnestness that reads as completely genuine, which is exactly why audiences stayed loyal to her character for so long.

Overview

Sarah Drew (born October 1, 1980) is an American actress from Charlottesville, Virginia. She is best known for her long-running role as Dr. April Kepner on the medical drama Grey's Anatomy. Earlier in her career she appeared in the series Everwood, and she has continued to work in television, film, and faith-based productions.
