Gina Hyams

Actor

Creating experimental theater as a young person, acting was, for me, about invention and transformation. Now, focussing on film and television, it’s more about distillation and play.

Since moving to New Mexico in 2023, Gina has plunged back into acting, which was her first creative passion during her teens and early 20s. She reactivated her SAG-AFTRA union membership and worked first as a featured background actor and stand-in in film and television—privileged to act in productions with Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony award winners (becoming a freakin’ EGOT of extras).

She played an avid fan of romantacy novels on Vince Gilligan’s critically acclaimed Apple TV+ post-apocalyptic sci-fi series, “Pluribus” (in scenes with Rhea Seehorn and Miriam Shor); a funeral goer in the HBO original film, “Miss You, Love You” (directed by Jim Rash in a scene with Allison Janney and Andrew Rannells); a recurring Emergency Department clerk on Netflix’s soapy medical drama, “Pulse”; a magazine editor in A24’s horror movie, “Opus” (in scenes with Ayo Edebiri and Murray Bartlett); a poolside checkers player pretending to drink tropical cocktails while Alfre Woodard was in the water grieving her dead lover in Netflix’s “The Boroughs”; a corrections officer on the FOX TV crime drama, “The Cleaning Lady”; a big-haired partygoer on HBO MAX’s 1970s crime thriller, “Duster”; and an airport patron strategically positioned behind a kissing couple on the Hallmark rom-com, “Love in the Clouds.”

Gina has also appeared in an array of indie shorts directed by emerging New Mexico filmmakers, among them playing Claire Swivel Chair, CEO of the Home Office in Colleen Mooney’s “The Furniture” (CMy Films), which won the audience choice “Outside the Box” award at the Rack Focus New Mexico Film Competition; a “Hot Flash Hype Girl” Instagram influencer in Rebekah Wiggins’s “Menopause After Dark: A Musical Comedy” (Quick Witt Productions); a hazmat cleaner cleaning up after the Little Mermaid in Jonas Huerta’s “The Ariel Episode” (OffSet Web Series); and “a Gen X creative with a quirky spirit” in Julia Storchie’s experimental “Don’t Forget to Feed the Koi” (Liminal 77 Films).

She has honed her on-camera acting, script analysis, and self-tape audition skills with classes at Southwest Scene Works, Act Up Studios, Albuquerque Actors’ Studio, Actors Space Albuquerque, McThunder Workshop, and Kathryn Brink Casting and she continues to train.

She recently signed for acting representation with Ciarra Blackwell of Priority Talent Agency. Stay tuned…
