The Chicago Med Episode That You Forgot Jamie Gray Hyder From Law & Order: SVU Was In

Jamie Gray Hyder is best known for her role as Kat Tamin on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit." Her character was an important addition to the show, since she became its first LGBTQIA main detective. Of her work on the show, Hyder especially loved collaborating with leading lady Mariska Hargitay. "Mariska is one of the best mentors that you can have," she told PC Principle. "She is equally as strong as she is warm. As someone who has been doing this show and playing the same character for over two decades, it really is a master class in keeping things fresh." 

Hyder also took her portrayal of Kat seriously, telling E! News that she didn't want to focus solely on her sexual orientation. "While it's a very important part to her, I think the goal in the end is to present a whole and nuanced human," Hyder explained. "It's important to me as a person to make sure that while Kat's bisexuality definitely informs a lot as to her life, it's definitely not the only aspect of her life." Because Kat quickly became an "SVU" favorite, viewers were surprised to learn that Hyder was leaving the show after only two seasons. Fortunately, the actress has no problems landing work. In fact, IMDb reports that she had recurring roles on "True Blood," "Graceland," and "Inhumans," as well as a string of guests spots on hit television shows, including "NCIS," "Bones," "Rizzoli & Isles," "Criminal Minds," — and another Dick Wolf drama— "Chicago Med."
