Jaime Murray is an English actress, best known for playing Stacie Monroe in the BBC series Hustle and Lila Tournay in season two of the Showtime series Dexter. She has had recurring roles as Grace Valentine in The CW's Valentine, as Helena G. Wells in SyFy's Warehouse 13 and as Gaia in the Starz series Spartacus: Gods of the Arena. More recently, Murray starred as Olivia Charles in The CW series Ringer.
Murray's first taste of stardom was miming the lyrics in the 1996 original video of Stretch & Vern's dance track "I'm Alive". Some of her early television appearances included minor guest roles in BBC One's Casualty, The Bill, Love Soup, and ShakespeaRe-Told: The Taming of the Shrew. Murray starred as Stacie Monroe in Hustle from series 1 until series 4. In one episode of Hustle, Murray so impressed her co-star Robert Vaughn with her modeling of a Wonder Woman costume that, according to several online sources, he showed it to studio executives in Hollywood; on the strength of this, Murray was invited to audition for the part of Wonder Woman in the upcoming Wonder Woman movie.
Relocating to Los Angeles, California, Murray starred in Dexter as Lila Tourney, Dexter Morgan's Narcotics Anonymous sponsor and the main antagonist in season 2. Dexter has an affair with her, leading to his breakup with his girlfriend Rita Bennett, but soon realizes that Lila is in fact a sociopath who hangs out in support groups as an attempt to feel emotions of which she is otherwise incapable. She immediately sees through Dexter's "mask" and becomes obsessed with him, believing him to be her soulmate.
