DIRECTOR

Jamie Gray Hyder

Jamie is an actor and advocate from the Washington, D.C. area, who uses her platform to promote mental health initiatives, boost nonprofit awareness, and help support active duty and veteran members of our communities.  While Jamie is well known for her roles on shows such as True Blood and Law & Order: SVU, it was her leading role in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare that cemented her as an advocate for the members of our U.S. Armed Forces.

Through her advocacy, Jamie has had the honor of experiences such as an F-16 Thunderbird flight, a C-2 Greyhound trap landing aboard an aircraft carrier, and a Black Hawk excursion in the desert, all in an effort to better understand the service experience, and spend time with our folks in uniform. Jamie’s diverse life experiences are often shared through speaking engagements with companies such as J.P. Morgan, Kate Spade, and orgs such as the National Alliance on Mental Illness. 

Jamie also serves on the board of Giving Kitchen, a nonprofit that provides emergency resources to food service workers nationwide. When Jamie isn’t on set or at a speaking engagement, she is honing her cooking skills in professional kitchens throughout NYC, or enjoying a long meal with friends.
