A British actress, Jaime Murray was born on October 27, 1978 in Essex, England. She is known to be the daughter of the actor Billy Murray. Enrolling at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), she opted to study Philosophy and Psychology. However, she decided to drop out and pursue acting, undergoing training at the Drama Centre. She graduated in 2000, and has appeared in several television shows since then. She has also appeared in TV ads for Debenhams department store, and has worked with Models 1 in London.
In 2002, Jaime Murray was cast in her debut role, as Sonia Guzman in the Casualty episode, titled “Thicker Than Water.” She later became known for her guest role in BBC One’s The Bill, which was followed by a small part in Keen Eddie. In 2004, she rose to fame when she was cast as Stacie Monroe, in the television series Hustle. She left the show before its fifth season aired, along with co-star Marc Warren. Murray has also gotten credit for her work in ShakespeaRe-Told: The Taming of the Shrew, in Love Soup and in Agatha Christie’s Poirot. In 2007, Murray landed roles in two thrillers, namely Botched and the TV production Demons. She followed this up by portraying the character Medea on the film The Deaths of Ian Stone, directed by Dario Piana and starring Mike Vogel. Murray later starred in a recurring role in Dexter, playing Lila during the show’s second season. She found the experience ‘intimidating’ because the role required several topless scenes. In 2008, she joined the cast of the CW series Valentine, as the lead character Grace Valentine. Fellow cast members include Kristoffer Polaha, Greg Ellis, and Patrick Fabian. That year, she finished filming Nathan Adolfson’s Possessions, a drama-comedy also featuring her Valentine co-star, Autumn Reeser.
