http://www.sprawlmagazine.com/ On the Run with Sarah Ramos: Star of the new CW drama, "Runaway" gives Sprawl Magazine a bit of her time By Tom Turpel 15 year old Sarah Ramos is hiding out in another country right now. The former star of NBC's critically acclaimed "American Dreams" is now finding herself in Toronto, hiding from police, evading mysterious killers, and changing her name everytime she visits a new town in the brand new CW drama, "Runaway", which airs Mondays at 9pm. Ramos grew up outside of Los Angeles, CA in a small town in suburban Orange County. She described it as being very laid back and a place where she can still walk around wherever she wants. At the age of nine, Ramos began taking acting classes at the Actors' Circle in Culver City. "I remember going to classes and making new friends. After awhile, I told my mom this is what I want to do everyday." Ramos said in an over the phone interview. "My mom has been a big support and has always been there to do whatever I need." She didn't have to wait long. After a year and a half of taking classes and shooting a commercial for Universal Studios, Sarah landed the role of Patty Pryor on NBC's "American Dreams". After three seasons on "Dreams", Ramos made guest appearances on network programs such as "Close to Home" and the hit comedy "Scrubs". With "Runaway" already making a buzz before the fall season has even started, chances are Ramos will be acting everyday for quite sometime." In "Runaway", Ramos portrays Hannah Rader, a teenage girl living on the run with her family while her father (Donnie Wahlberg), uncovers clues to prove his innocence on a murder he didn't commit. After viewing the pilot, critics believe the series is definitely going to be the sleeper hit of the fall, making Ramos, and the entire Rader family, household names. A lot has changed for Ramos since she grew up in the sixties on "Dreams" to becoming a "Runaway." She has had to relocate from Los Angeles to Toronto, where the series is shot. While "American Dreams" was in between production schedules, Ramos was able to attend school with her friends. Now, she will have a tutor until February, when shooting "Runaway" ends. Instead of living in spacious Orange County, she now lives in downtown Toronto with her mom. "Everyone walks more here." Though Sarah is use to working with notable celebrities and is on the verge of becoming a big star herself, filming in Toronto out of all places has made her a little starstruck. "Andrew Lawerence, of the famous Lawerence brothers plays the character Brady on "Runaway", and I use to watch him on "Brotherly Love." At first, I was nervous and embarrassed to meet him because I was a fan of the show, but he's a really cool guy." "A couple of my friends watch 'Degrassi: The Next Generation', and I saw Emma (Miriam Mc Donald) and Liberty (Sarah Barrable-Tishauer) driving on the freeway, and Craig (Jake Epstein) was getting into the same elevator as me. I just stared the whole time." Check out more from Sarah Ramos right now! ________________ http://www.sprawlmagazine.com/
