Jaime King (born April 23, 1979) is an American film actress and model. In her modeling career and early film roles, she went by the names Jamie King and James King, which was a childhood nickname given to King by her parents,[1] because her agency already represented another Jaime — the older, then-more famous model Jaime Rishar.[2] King, because of the latter name, is sometimes referred to as the "Model with a man's name".[3]

Called by Complex magazine "one of the original model-turned-actresses",[4] King appeared in Vogue, Mademoiselle, and Harper's Bazaar, among other fashion magazines. Afterwards, she began taking small film roles. Her first larger role was in Pearl Harbor (2001). Her first starring movie role was in Bulletproof Monk (2003). She has gone on to appear as a lead in various other films, gaining more note after Sin City (2005), a role which she will perform in its sequel Sin City 2 (2010).

The Pardon, a film based on the true life story of Toni Jo Henry, the only woman to be electrocuted by the State of Louisiana, stars King in the lead role. The Jim Kouf comedy, A Fork in the Road, has King portraying April Rogers, alongside Daniel Roebuck. King will reprise her role as twins Goldie and Wendy in the part sequel and part prequel of the Miller written and co-directed film Sin City 2.

She plays Beth in Darren Lynn Bousmans remake of Mother's Day and narrated the movie on Scream Award 2009.[30] King stars in the documentary Scream Queens 2, directed by Biagio Messina.[31]

She is currently co-directing and appearing in the music video for the song Bury Me Alive by the band We Are The Fallen with her husband Kyle Newman.

She also is currently voicing Aurra Sing and other characters in the TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars
