Sarah Shahi returns to TV this fall as a series regular in the second season of CBS's Emmy-nominated series Person Of Interest as ISA agent Sam Shaw. Sarah can also be seen this coming fall reprising her role from last season on NBC's Chicago Fire as the sexy Renée Royce, a successful business woman and love interest for Taylor Kinney's Lt. Kelly Severide.

Sarah also recently wrapped production on Damon Wayans Jr. laugh-out-loud comedy for Fox Let's Be Cops with Nina Dobrev and Jake Johnson.

Previously, Sarah has been immediately recognizable as the star of USA network's hit dramedy, Fairly Legal. On the big screen, Sarah's recently featured roles include East Fifth Bliss opposite Lucy Liu and Michael C. Hall, and Shades Of Ray, produced by Jake Kasdan. In Shades, Sarah plays a feisty East Indian school teacher who inspires American-born Ray, (Zachary Levi) struggling with his multi-cultural identity, to take risks in love.

Sarah starred opposite Tony Shalhoub in the 2007 movie American East, about Arab-Americans living in a post 9/11 Los Angeles.

Fans of the NBC series Life, remember Sarah starring as Dani Reese, an LAPD beat cop and recovering addict battling her demons opposite Golden Globe nominee Damian Lewis. In 2008 Life won an AFI award for Television Program of the Year.
