Jaime Ray Newman’s got one of those resumes that just keeps going—she’s popping up everywhere lately. Next, you’ll catch her on Apple TV’s new series cooked up by Don Cheadle, THE BIG CIGAR, plus she’s set for a guest spot on BEL AIR over at Peacock. If you’ve been binging DOPESICK on Hulu (and let’s be real, who hasn’t?) you probably caught her sharing the screen with Michael Keaton. She’s also been part of HBO’s THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE. FOX’s DEPUTY, Hulu’s LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE (acting with Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington, no less), and a wild mix of shows like VERONICA MARS, THE MAGICIANS, THE IMPOSTERS, MAJOR CRIMES, SATISFACTION, CSI, DROP DEAD DIVA, and NIP/TUCK—yeah, she’s done the rounds. She headlined NBC's MIDNIGHT TEXAS and popped up in Marvel’s THE PUNISHER on Netflix, which, let’s be honest, is a flex. Film-wise, Jaime’s rolling out in the indie flick JUDO from Guy Nattiv, plus she’s been in CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, RUBBERNECK, RED ROBIN, and even the animated TARZAN reboot. Toss in VALLEY OF THE GODS, where she shares scenes with Josh Hartnett and John freaking Malkovich. She even snagged an Oscar back in 2018 for the short film SKIN. Up next: the short KINSHIP, directed by Daniel Ramirez, and she’s cooking up fresh projects with her husband Guy Nattiv for their company New Native Pictures. Busy doesn’t even cover it.
She fronts this wild soul-funk-rock band called School Boy Crush—yeah, the name’s got attitude—and they pretty much own the LA club scene right now. Seriously, they’re gigging all over the city, from those grimy dive bars with sticky floors to the kinda places you gotta know somebody to even get through the door. She’s not just belting out covers, either—she’s smack in the middle of cranking out their debut album. Rumor has it, the tracks are a weird mix of throwback grooves and sharp, modern edge, which is honestly exactly what you’d want blasting on a Friday night. The band’s got this gritty vibe, heavy on the horns and bass, and her voice? Straight fire—like, the kind that makes you stop mid-conversation just to listen. LA’s full of wannabe acts, but these guys? They actually have the chops to stand out. Wouldn’t be surprised if their album drops and suddenly everyone’s talking about them.
