Which actress played Dr. Jo Wilson?

The story behind the answer

Camilla Luddington played Dr. Jo Wilson in Grey’s Anatomy. Jo was introduced in the ninth-season premiere as a surgical intern at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital, later renamed Grey Sloan Memorial.

Jo’s early storyline focused on her friendship and eventual romance with Alex Karev, with both characters bonding over painful childhood experiences. Her background was gradually expanded to reveal that she had survived domestic abuse and had originally lived under the name Brooke Stadler. Later stories explored her biological family, mental health, adoption, and transition from surgical resident to attending surgeon and obstetrician-gynecologist.

The role is sometimes confused with the other options because Jerrika Hinton played Stephanie Edwards, Kelly McCreary played Maggie Pierce, and Sarah Drew played April Kepner. Luddington is also widely recognized as the voice and performance-capture actor for Lara Croft in the modern Tomb Raider video-game trilogy.
