Jaime Murray is the daughter of UK actor Billy Murray and acted in her first job with him in 1982. Paul Annette, the director of the television series 'Grass' was looking for a little boy to play Billy's son and asked Jaime, who was three years old at the time, if she would do the role. She said yes, not knowing the part was for a little boy. She was really annoyed when she found out because she didn't like boys at the time.
I can't even watch horror movies - I have to turn the music down!
I feel as though, as an actor, you can only make brave choices when you're acting with people that you're so relaxed with that you can make a mistake.
I'm not the best gamer - I think you need to be strategic and level-headed, and you need to remain calm under pressure... and I don't really have those qualities!
If I had known how much I hate auditioning, I doubt I would have become an actress.
I try to really focus on the actors I'm working with and kind of read and respond to their behavior.
As an actor, if you decide that someone is bad... you can't play bad, because even the worst person doesn't think what they're doing is bad.
Everyone thinks England and America are the same, as we have the same language, but I felt like an alien as an English person living in America.
Home will always be London. There's something unique about the British. It's about cheekiness.
The Americans think British T.V. shows are amazing, and everybody references Downton Abbey (2010), and, in my genre, Doctor Who (2005), which everyone is crazy for. People are always asking me and are always disappointed that I haven't been in it.
