Jamie Hector studied at the Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute in New York and attributes a defining moment in his career to the film “five deep breaths”. Jamie has since gone from playing one of television’s most ruthless gangsters to playing one of LAPD's finest detectives! Jamie gained respect as the ultimate “bad Guy” on HBO's critically acclaimed series, THE WIRE, as Marlo Stanfield. Jamie next joined, NBC primetime show HEROES as Benjamin Knox Washington. Jamie took time to tour US Military bases in Europe with the Theater Of War performing the Greek Tragedy AJAX. On stage he tackled Shakespeare as OTHELLO, and co-starred in the off-Broadway play LOWER NINTH. Jamie is now considered one of the hardest working actors on the scene today. You can find him on the new WuTang series American Saga, Queen Of The South, The Strain, Power, and Person Of Interest to name a few.
