Early life

Wilson's first regular network TV role was in the short-lived series Bob Patterson (2001), a post-"Seinfeld" vehicle for Jason Alexander. She also appeared on Law & Order, Sex and the City, and The Sopranos, and had a small role in Lone Star (1996). Wilson also had career in theater, where she played Bonna Willis in The Good Times Are Killing Me, and was featured in the Tony-nominated Caroline, or Change. Wilson is an accomplished singer, and has sung in several productions.
Wilson was working at a bank when she auditioned for the Grey's Anatomy pilot.

Wilson was nominated in 2006 and 2007 for an Emmy Award for best supporting actress in a drama. She was nominated and won the Screen Actors Guild Award in 2007 for outstanding female actor in a drama series; she also won a SAG Award as part of the Grey's Anatomy cast, which won Best Ensemble in a Drama Series.
