Actor
Jamie Gray Hyder is a classically trained, Lebanese-American actor and UGA alum, most well known for her role as Officer Katriona 'Kat' Tamin on Law & Order: SVU. Over the last 15 years, her work on iconic TV shows, in cult-classic video games and as crowd-favorite animated characters has rounded out her unique professional experience.
As a lover of all things food & drink related, when Jamie isn’t on set, you can find her chowing down or working in professional kitchens honing her knife skills as a prep cook. Over the last couple years, Jamie is thrilled to grow from Team HIDI attendee to Board Member at Giving Kitchen, as it affords her a way to give back to the many restaurant and bar workers who have given her a home over the years. Her goals include bringing national partnerships and attention to GK that allow us to meet the ever-growing needs of our food service population, nationwide.
In her free time, Jamie also uses her platform to support mental health initiatives, veterans and the armed forces, and food support programs such as World Central Kitchen. She currently resides in New York City with her husband, and black cat, Bruce Wayne. Go Dawgs!!
