Sarah Megan Thomas is an award-winning actress, writer, producer and director, best known for creating prestige independent fare featuring complex roles for women.
For her latest film, "A Call to Spy," Sarah wrote the original screenplay, produced, and plays legendary American spy Virginia Hall, alongside Stana Katic, Radhika Apte, and Linus Roache. The WWII feature, released by IFC Films domestically, has won numerous awards (including an Anti-Defamation League Award at the 2020 Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and several "Audience Choice" awards). "A Call To Spy" was released by IFC Films in North America and "gave fuel to the specialty Box Office" despite the pandemic landscape (Deadline). Indiewire called Thomas "the standout here." The Film was also released internationally to critical acclaim, with the BBC lauding it as the "Hidden Figures of the spy world." Amazon released the film as an "Amazon Original" in India. In Australia, "A Call To Spy" opened number 7 at the Box Office on Boxing Day.
Sarah's previous feature was the groundbreaking "Equity," in which she created the concept, co-wrote the story, produced, and starred. A first of its kind, "Equity" is a female driven Wall Street thriller. The Film premiered in Dramatic Competition at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, where it sold to Sony Pictures Classics. A.O Scott at The New York Times made "Equity" a Critic's Pick when it was released theatrically nationwide. The Hollywood Reporter reviewed Sarah's performance as "subtle, but gutsy." Sarah was honored with a Women's Image Network Award, Creative Coalition Spotlight Award, and Voice of A Woman Award for "Equity."
Sarah also starred in the romance-drama "Backwards" opposite James Van Der Beek, and has appeared in various television shows including "Law and Order, SVU." She was the spokeswoman for The New York Times "weekender" commercials, and has starred in numerous Off-Broadway productions. She played Berowne(a) in a whimsical, gender-bending "Love's Labour's Lost" (The New York Times review: "Once you hear Berowne(a)'s (Sarah Megan Thomas') immortal cry of longing 'Oh my little heart!' spoken by a woman, you may wonder why Shakespeare didn't think of that").
She's an accomplished athlete in her personal life, enjoying nearly all sports from basketball to yoga.
Sarah graduated with honors from Williams College. She trained as an actress at RADA and Drama Studio London.
Sarah resides in downtown New York City with her husband, son Christoper, and daughter Madison.
