She grew up in Hollywood, Florida and graduated from Pine Crest School. Atkinson attended Northwestern University where she earned a BA in Communications in 1981. She was also initiated as a member of Alpha Chi Omega and a sorority sister of Laura Innes, and the Yale Drama School. Atkinson began her acting career in theater, and debuted in Broadway in 1987, in a revival of Arthur Miller's ''All My Sons''. She eventually moved to TV shows and film, appearing in shows like ''A Year in the Life'', ''Parenthood'', ''Beauty and the Beast'' (with [[Jay Acovone]]), ''The X-Files'', ''Law & Order'', and ''The Following'' (with [[Nestor Serrano]]). Atkinson is also known for her role of FBI Chief Director Erin Strauss on ''Criminal Minds'' from 2007 to 2013. During her time on the show, she shared the screen with numerous ''24'' alumni like [[Glenn Morshower]], [[Michael Massee]], [[Michael Cudlitz]], [[Xander Berkeley]], [[Jeffrey Nordling]], [[John Allen Nelson]], [[Tracy Middendorf]], [[Esai Morales]] and [[Gil Bellows]], among many others. She also has a recurring role on ''House of Cards'' (with [[Kate Mara]]). Aside of TV, Atkinson has also appeared in numerous films like ''Blank Check'', ''The Village'' (with [[Cherry Jones]]), ''Syriana'' (with [[Alexander Siddig]]), and ''Handsome Harry''. She also appeared in ''Free Willy'' and the sequel, ''Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home'' (the film series co-starred [[Michael Madsen]], [[Mykelti Williamson]], [[Al Sapienza]], and [[Neal Matarazzo]]). === Role on ''24'' === Atkinson had originally auditioned for the role of First Lady [[Martha Logan]] at the beginning of [[Season 5]], knowing she was wrong for the part but wanting to get her foot in the door with ''24'''s casting directors. After [[Jean Smart]] got the role, producers cast Atkinson in the role of [[Karen Hayes]] instead. == ''24'' credits == <div class="appear"> *[[Season 5]] **{{ep|5x13}} **{{ep|5x14}} **{{ep|5x15}} **{{ep|5x16}} **{{ep|5x17}} **{{ep|5x18}} **{{ep|5x19}} **{{ep|5x20}} **{{ep|5x21}} **{{ep|5x22}} **{{ep|5x23}} **{{ep|5x24}} *[[Season 6]] **{{ep|6x01}} **{{ep|6x02}} **{{ep|6x03}} **{{ep|6x04}} **{{ep|6x05}} **{{ep|6x06}} **{{ep|6x07}} **{{ep|6x12}} **{{ep|6x14}} **{{ep|6x15}} **{{ep|6x16}} **{{ep|6x17}} **{{ep|6x18}} **{{ep|6x19}} **{{ep|6x20}} **{{ep|6x22}} **{{ep|6x23}} **{{ep|6x24}} </div> ===''24''-related appearances=== * Atkinson provided [[DVD]] audio commentary for the episode "[[Day 6: 5:00pm-6:00pm]]" with ([[Powers Boothe]]). * [[Webcast Diaries]], <small>Season 6 DVD</small> == Selected filmography == * ''The Congressman'' (2016) * ''Handsome Harry'' (2009) * ''Syriana'' (2005) * ''The Village'' (2004) * ''Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home'' (1995) * ''Free Willy'' (1993) '''Television appearances''' * ''Clarice'' (2021-) * ''Bluff City Law'' (2019) * ''House Of Cards'' (2013-2018) * ''Chicago Med'' (2016) * ''Criminal Minds'' (2007-2013) * ''Law and Order: Special Victims Unit'' (2007) * ''Law and Order'' (2002, 2005, 2008) * ''The Education of Max Bickford'' (2001) * ''The Practice'' (1997) * ''The X-Files'' (1995) * ''Parenthood'' (1990) * ''Beauty and the Beast'' (1989) * ''Moonlighting'' (1989) * ''A Year in the Life'' (1987-1988) == External links == * [http://www.jayne-atkinson.com/ Official website] * {{wp}} * {{Imdb|name/nm0040739}} * {{fb|Ms.Jayne.Atkinson}} * {{Tw|MeJaag59}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Atkinson, Jayne}} [[Category:Actors]] [[Category:Season 5 actors]] [[Category:Season 6 actors]] [[Category:Main stars]] [[Category:Guest stars]]
