Jaime Passier-Armstrong

At age 10 Jaime Passier-Armstrong sent her future agent a CV, written in felt-tip pen. In 2000 she acted in movie Jubilee, before segueing into a bigger role in Crooked Earth, as feisty daughter to Temuera Morrison’s Will. She won more followers on Shortland Street, and her character Jay Copeland’s 2006 civil union broke new ground on Kiwi television. Passier-Armstrong has also acted in bilingual drama Korero 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. Jaime Passier-Armstrong in the NZ Herald, 30 August 2007
