Everyone knows big things come from Texas, but who knew that things that come from Texas would make you big . . . in your pants! Well, that's exactly what Euless, Texas, native Sarah Shahi will do to any red-blooded American man, even if she's of Persian descent. Come on, people, if this doesn't prove that more than just oil comes from the Middle East nothing will! She first came to notice winning beauty contests and eventually became the cover model for the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders’ 2000 calendar. We can thank director Robert Altman for Sarah's onscreen career. He encouraged Sarah to move to Hollywood after she worked as an extra on his Dr. T and the Women (2000). That led to small roles on TV shows such as Spin City and Boston Public, which led to her big break as Erica, working with a naked Will Ferrell, in the comedy Old School (2003). But it was when she joined the cast of The L Word that things really started to heat up. She plays Carmen de la Pica Morales, a gay Latina DJ, which spins Mr. Skin 'round and 'round like a record, especially when she shows off her flesh discs.
