Career

Dorothy Wheeler, a minor actress in Minority Report (2002), then a leading role in Edward Burns' The Groomsmen (2006), she appeared in the slasher film Valentine (2001).
She made a name for herself on Grey's Anatomy in 2009. In December 2008, it was announced that she would act as pediatric surgeon Arizona Robbins in a multi-episode arc. Shonda Rhimes, a series creator who was expected to appear in just three episodes of the show's fifth season, has extended her contract to appear in all of the season's remaining episodes, and she became a series regular in the sixth season.
Callie Torres, an orthopedic surgery resident, was born as a love interest (Sara Ramirez). Rhimes was delighted with the chemistry between them, saying that Capshaw's addition to the cast was a piece of which she was most proud: "I love Jessica Capshaw, and I mean love." She couldn't be any more lovely person, and I think Arizona and Callie's chemistry has resembled the Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek (Patrick Dempsey) chemistry to me. "I find them amusing to watch." Initial media reactions were encouraging. Capshaw has been dubbed a "fan favorite," by Matt Mitovich of TV Guide, and IGN's Chris Monfette praised the addition of "fresh, new characters" such as Robbins over the course of the season.
Capshaw left Grey's Anatomy in March 2018, with the designers citing creative reasons. "She was one of the first members of the LGBT community to be included in a regular role on network television," she wrote on Twitter. Her influence in the world is irreversibly and in perpetuity.
