At age 10 Jaime Passier-Armstrong sent her future agent a CV, written in felt-tip pen. She went on to star in one-off TV drama The Cat's Crying (1995), and played feisty daughter to Temuera Morrison's character in movie Crooked Earth. Passier-Armstrong won her biggest audience on Shortland Street. Set to play Jay Copeland for just a few months, she ended up staying for three years. Her character's 2006 civil union with fellow nurse Maia Jeffries rated highly, and broke new ground on New Zealand television. Passier-Armstrong has also acted in Underbelly: Land of the Long Green Cloud and bilingual drama Kōrero Mai.

“I was only supposed to be on the show for three months originally. I never expected to stay on there for three years. Shortland Street has been an extraordinary journey but it consumes your life, basically.”
